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.12mm of the shaft is buckled starting 138.3cm from the hub.The tip is damaged.Functional testing was carried out by attaching an inflation device filled with water to the hub of the complaint device, and inflating the device to rated burst pressure (rbp).The quantum maverick device inflated and held pressure for 5 minutes without leaking.There was no evidence of any material or manufacturing deficiencies contributing to the damage.There were numerous hypotube and shaft kinks.The investigation conclusion is not confirmed - returned as there was no evidence of either the alleged issue(s) or any defect which could have contributed to the event.(b)(4).
