    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 1

    (B)(4). DEVICE IS COMBINATION PRODUCT. DEVICE EVALUATED BY MFR: A VISUAL AND MICROSCOPIC EXAMINATION FOUND THAT THE HYPOTUBE WAS KINKED AT VARIOUS LOCATIONS ALONG ITS LENGTH. THIS TYPE OF DAMAGE IS CONSISTENT WITH EXCESSIVE FORCE BEING APPLIED TO THE DELIVERY SYSTEM. THE STENT WAS DAMAGED AT THE PROXIMAL END. STRUTS ON THE MOST DISTAL ROW WERE LIFTED UPWARDS. NO ISSUES WERE NOTED WITH THE TIP AND BALLOON OF THE DEVICE THAT COULD HAVE POTENTIALLY CONTRIBUTED TO THE COMPLAINT INCIDENT. THE BALLOON WAS TIGHTLY WRAPPED AND WAS NOT SUBJECTED TO POSITIVE PRESSURE. THE MANUFACTURING BATCH RECORD REVIEW CONFIRMED THAT THE DEVICE MET ALL MATERIAL, ASSEMBLY AND PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATIONS. THE MOST PROBABLE ROOT CAUSE IS OPERATIONAL CONTEXT AS DEVICE PERFORMANCE WAS LIMITED DUE TO ANATOMICAL PROCEDURAL FACTORS. (B)(4).
