(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.There was blood in between the balloon folds.The outer shaft, inner shaft, balloon and tip were microscopically examined.The hypotube shaft was completely separated 57cm from the hub.The fracture faces were oval as if kinked prior to separation.There were numerous hypotube kinks.There was tip 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).
