(b)(4).Device evaluated by mfr.: returned product consisted of a quantum maverick balloon catheter.The balloon was loosely folded.The outer shaft, inner shaft, balloon and tip were microscopically examined.The tip is damaged.The hypotube shaft was completely separated 75.8cm from the hub.The fracture faces were oval as if kinked prior to separation.There was no evidence of any material or manufacturing deficiencies contributing to the damage.There were numerous hypotube and shaft kinks.There is no evidence that the device failed to meet applicable product specifications prior to shipment.The most probable root cause is operational context as device performance was limited due to anatomical/procedural factors.(b)(4).
