The 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 balloon folds.The outer shaft, inner shaft, balloon and tip were microscopically examined.The hypotube shaft was completely separated 70 cm from the hub.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 and the reported difficulty.There was no evidence of any damage or irregularities contributing to the reported crossing difficulty, which could not be confirmed because the clinical circumstances could not be replicated.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).
