(b)(4).Device evaluated by mfr: returned product consisted of a quantum maverick balloon catheter in two pieces.The balloon was loosely folded.The outer shaft, inner shaft, balloon and tip were microscopically examined.The hypotube was completely separated 26.2cm from the hub.The hypotube fracture surfaces were ovaled and torn, which suggests the device was kinked prior to separation.The tip is damaged.There are numerous hypotube and shaft kinks.Inspection of the remainder of the device presented no other damage or irregularities.There was no evidence of any material or manufacturing deficiencies contributing to the damage and the reported difficulty.The investigation conclusion is operational context as the product meets the design and manufacture specification but due to anatomical/procedural factors encountered during the procedure, performance was limited.(b)(4).
