The reported oad was received at csi for analysis, engaged on the guide wire.A visual examination revealed a kink in the guide wire that corresponded with a driveshaft kink, and the spring tip proximal solder bond was damaged.Embedded spring tip material within the tip bushing prevented removal of the guide wire.The material within the driveshaft was consistent in dimension with the guide wire spring tip coil.Both showed evidence of rotational damage consistent with the oad spinning over the spring tip.Scanning electron analysis revealed further evidence that the spring coil had been spun over.At the conclusion of the device analysis investigation, the report that the oad was stuck on the guide wire and the oad stopped spinning was confirmed.The root cause was determined to be the guide wire fracture.The root cause of the fracture was considered to be use not consistent with the instructions for use (ifu) by contacting the spring tip with the spinning driveshaft.The diamondback gen2 peripheral orbital atherectomy system ifu warns: when moving the crown advancer knob, make sure there is sufficient distance between the guide wire spring tip and the distal end of the shaft (10 cm minimum).If the distance between the shaft tip and the guide wire spring tip is insufficient, the shaft tip may damage the guide wire spring tip and result in dislodgement of the guide wire spring tip.Use contrast injections and fluoroscopy to monitor movement of the shaft tip in relation to the guide wire spring tip.Csi id: (b)(4).
