It was reported that the coating peeled off the wire.A 2.4mm jetstream xc catheter was selected for use in an atherectomy procedure in the left superficial femoral artery (sfa).At the start of the procedure, the device was removed from the packaging and prepped following the directions for use.After priming the device in saline, the physician loaded the device on a non-bsc filter wire.As the device was loaded on the filter wire, black wire speckling material was found on the glove of the physician.It was caused by catheter scraping the filter wire.The physician removed the device from the filterwire, re-primed it, and began loading the device over the wire once more.The physician then noticed more black speckling coming off the wire, and on his glove.The device was removed from the wire.A non-bsc device was selected to successfully complete the procedure.There were no patient complications reported.The patient condition was reported as stable post-procedure.
