(b)(4).Device evaluated by mfr.: returned product consisted of a maverick 2 balloon catheter.The balloon was loosely folded with fluid in the balloon and lumen.The hypotube, distal shaft, balloon, markerbands, and tip were microscopically and tactile inspected.Inspection revealed a burst in the balloon material that was 8 mm in length and numerous kinks in the hypotube.Inspection of the remainder of the device revealed no other damage or irregularities.The most probable root cause is operational context as device performance was limited due to anatomical/procedural factors.(b)(4).
