Manufacturer Narrative

Analysis of the reported device is in progress.A supplemental report will be submitted when the device analysis is completed.(b)(4).

Event Description

The viperwire was inadvertently advanced into a heavily calcified lesion in the anterior tibial (at) artery during advancement of a support catheter.The viperwire fractured and was left in vivo.Atherectomy was performed in the popliteal artery and was followed by balloon angioplasty for post-dilation.Slow flow was noted through the at artery.Attempts to remove the wire fragment were unsuccessful, and the procedure was prolonged by forty-five minutes.An additional 45cc of contrast and additional fluoroscopy were required due to the attempts.There were no additional patient complications, and the procedure was concluded.Reportedly, the popliteal to tibioperoneal trunk was severely calcified, as were the anterior tibial and posterior tibial vessels.

Manufacturer Narrative

Failure analysis conclusion: examination of the guide wire revealed the proximal core wire to be fractured and curled up.The distal fractured spring tip section was not returned.Scanning electron microscopy (sem) analysis revealed the presence of ductile torsional stresses on the fracture faces of the core wires.Although the exact root cause of the guide wire fracture is undetermined, the sem analysis is consistent with an oad spinning over a tight bend or kink in the wire.At the conclusion of the failure analysis investigation the fracture event was confirmed.The device history record for this oad lot number has been reviewed.No issues or discrepancies were noted during this review that would have contributed to the reported event.The device met material, assembly, and quality control requirements.Csi id: (b)(4).
