(b)(4).Device evaluated by mfr: returned product consisted of a maverick 2 balloon catheter in two pieces.The balloon and tip were microscopically and visually examined.There was contrast in the inflation lumen and blood in the guidewire lumen and between the balloon folds.The balloon was tightly folded.There was no damage or irregularities to the balloon.There were numerous kinks throughout the shaft and a complete hypotube separation 65cm from the strain relief.The hypotube fracture surfaces were ovaled, which suggests the device was kinked prior to separation.Inspection of the remainder of the device, apart from the observed damage, revealed no other damage or irregularities.No other damage or issues were identified during the product analysis.Device analysis determined the condition of the returned device was not consistent with the reported information.The manufacturing batch record review confirmed that the device met all material, assembly and performance specifications.The root cause is not confirmed as there was no evidence of the alleged issue or any anomalies which could have contributed to the reported difficulty.(b)(4).
