(b)(4).During processing of this complaint, attempts were made to obtain complete event, patient and device information.A visual inspection was performed and the reported shaft separation was confirmed.A review of the lot history record identified no manufacturing nonconformities issued to the reported lot that would have contributed to this event.Additionally, a review of the complaint history identified no other similar incidents reported from this lot.The investigation determined the reported/noted hypotube separation and multiple hypotube kinks and bends on the hypotube and bayonet appear to be related to circumstances.There was no damage noted to the balloon catheter during the inspection prior to use which suggests a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling did not contribute to the reported difficulties.There is no indication of a product quality issue with respect to manufacture, design or labeling.
