(b)(4).Device evaluated by mfr.: returned product consisted of a maverick 2 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 85.1cm from the hub.The fracture faces were oval as if kinked prior to separation.There is shaft damage at the exit notch that is consistent with damage seen with the use of a guidewire.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).

Reportable based on device analysis completed on (b)(6) 2017.It was reported that crossing difficulties were encountered and shaft damage occurred.The 82% stenosed target lesion was located in the moderately tortuous and severely calcified mid right coronary artery.Following pre-dilation with a 3.0x12mm non-bsc balloon catheter, a 3.50mmx12mm maverick balloon catheter was advanced for dilation.However, the device failed to cross the lesion and the mid shaft was damaged.The procedure was completed with a different device.No patient complications were reported and the patient's status was stable.However, returned device analysis revealed hypotube break.
