Age at time of event: 18 years or older.(b)(4).Device evaluated by mfr: returned product consisted of a quantum maverick balloon catheter.The balloon was tightly folded.There was contrast in the inflation lumen.Device analysis determined the condition of the returned device was consistent with the complaint incident.The outer shaft, inner shaft, balloon and tip were microscopically examined.The hypotube shaft was completely separated 69 cm from the tip.The fracture faces were oval as if kinked prior to separation.There were numerous hypotube kinks.There was no evidence of any material or manufacturing deficiencies contributing to the damage.Inspection of the remainder of the device presented 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).
