Block g3/h3: the angiosculpt device was returned for evaluation.Block h3: the angiosculpt device was returned intact to an asahi sion blue 0.014" guide wire that was able to be removed with moderate resistance.Visual inspection found an accordioned inner member inside the balloon.During functional testing a laboratory asahi sion blue 0.014" guide wire was activated with saline and inserted through the distal tip and through the device with no resistance.Using an indeflator filled with 50/50 contrast solution, the balloon was inflated/deflated (10 cycles) to 18 atm (rbp) for 1 minute with no issues.However, during removal from the guide wire, severe resistance was noted, resulting in further damage to the inner member inside of the balloon.Block h6: per the ifu, if unusual resistance is felt when the catheter is being manipulated, carefully remove the entire catheter system (angiosculpt evo catheter and steerable guide wire) as a unit.
