(b)(4).Stent delivery system (sds) was returned for analysis.The stent detached from the delivery system and was not returned for analysis.The bumper tip of the device showed no signs of damage.The balloon body was reviewed and the balloon folds appeared disturbed.Solidified media was evident inside balloon chamber.A visual and tactile examination found that the hypotube had broken 219mm distal from distal edge of strain relief and multiple kinks on the hypotube shaft were noted.This type of damage is consistent with excessive force being applied to the delivery system.A visual and tactile examination of the outer and mid-shaft section found no issues with the shaft polymer extrusion.The bi-component bond showed no signs of damage or strain.No other issues were identified during the product analysis.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).
