Estimated weight.Device analysis conclusion: the oad was returned for analysis with the guide wire.Visual examination confirmed the reported driveshaft fracture.The saline sheath was also separated, which is likely due to the fractured driveshaft having been spun within the sheath.The returned support catheter was inadvertently discarded during analysis.Scanning electron microscopy analysis of the fractured filars shows evidence of fatigue, which is an indication that the driveshaft was spun in a high stress environment.This is consistent with complaint details which state that the iliac vessels were very tortuous as well as stented bilaterally.This may have created a high-stress environment that contributed to fatigue.However, this could not be confirmed through analysis, and the root cause of the damage remains undetermined.Review of the device data log shows three stall events.It is unknown if the stall event occurred due to the crown becoming stuck or from interaction between the fracture and the saline sheath and/or wire.Csi id: (b)(4).

A diamondback peripheral orbital atherectomy device (oad) was used via left femoral access and contralateral approach for treatment of a chronic total occlusion in the right superficial femoral artery (sfa).The vessel diameter was thought to be 6.0mm.Calcium was severe.One treatment was performed on low speed, and one treatment pass was performed on medium speed.Both treatments were performed distal to proximal.These treatments were performed in the proximal sfa.The device was advanced to the mid sfa for further treatment.One treatment pass was performed on low speed, and one treatment pass was performed on medium speed.Both treatments were distal to proximal.The physician then activated the oad for another treatment, but an unexpected "squeal" sound was observed.The physician then deactivated the device.The wire was then determined to be stuck in a side branch.The oad fractured.A support catheter, which was already in use, was used to remove the oad fragment.The wire was also freed the procedure was completed with angioplasty and stent placement.
