The oad was returned with the driveshaft severely stretched and cut 32cm from the tip.A 335cm long section of the guide wire was engaged in the stretched oad driveshaft section.Biological material was observed to have accumulated on the driveshaft on the proximal edge of the crown.A second section of guide wire measuring 184cm long and cut at the distal end was returned unattached to the oad.Complaint details indicate the driveshaft was cut as part of troubleshooting and removal efforts of the oad during the procedure.The material accumulation and stretched filars on the proximal side of the crown are consistent with the crown becoming seized in biological material and the driveshaft being pulled with force in removal attempts resulting in the driveshaft damage.Damage that could have contributed to the material accumulation was not identified.The morphology and exact root cause of the accumulated biological material is unknown.When tested the oad functioned as designed.Review of the device data log identified two stall events.It is unknown if the stall events are related to the reported complaint.The exact cause of the oad getting stuck in the vessel could not be conclusively determined.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.Results code: 4247 - suggested code is biological material present on device.Csi id: (b)(4).

The stealth 360 gen 2 peripheral orbital atherectomy device (oad) was advanced without issues through the peroneal artery via femoral retrograde approach but got stuck distally.The target lesion in the peroneal was calcified, 99% diffuse, and approximately 150mm in length.The oad was cut at the driveshaft where it meets the crown to facilitate its removal.The oad and crown were successfully removed separately.In the opinion of the physician the oad was advanced too far beyond the lesion and went in to too small of a vessel.Following atherectomy, balloon angioplasty was performed.The patient was stable.
