(b)(4).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 88.7cm from the hub.The hypotube fracture surfaces were ovaled and torn, which suggests the device was kinked prior to separation.There are numerous hypotube kinks.The tip is damaged.Inspection of the remainder of the device presented no other damage or irregularities.There was no evidence of any damage or irregularities contributing to the damage and reported crossing difficulty.The investigation conclusion is operational context as the product meets the design & manufacture specification but due to anatomical/procedural factors encountered during the procedure, performance was limited.(b)(4).
