Manufacturer Narrative

Device evaluated by mfr: returned product consisted of a maverick 2 balloon catheter with no other devices.The balloon was tightly folded and there was blood in the lumen.The hypotube, inner shaft and outer shaft were microscopically and tactile inspected.Inspection revealed a total separation in the hypotube 60cm from the strain relief, with numerous kinks in the hypotube.The fracture faces were oval as if kinked prior to separation.There was no evidence of any material or manufacturing deficiencies.Inspection of the remainder of the device, apart from the observed damage, revealed no other damage or irregularities.The manufacturing batch record review confirmed that the device met all material, assembly and performance specifications.The most probable root cause is operational context as device performance was limited due to anatomical procedural factors.(b)(4).
