Event Description
|
It was reported that the sheath was detached.The target lesion was located in the moderately tortuous and moderately calcified coronary artery.A 1.75mm rotalink¿ plus was selected for use.During the procedure, when the burr was used at the 7th ablation, it was noted that the rotation speed decreased by about 10,000rpm in an area which is not the target lesion and an unusual sound was heard.When the burr was removed from the body, it was further noted that the sheath part became detached.Since the target lesion was already ablated the procedure was completed with this device.No patient complications were reported.

Manufacturer Narrative

Device evaluated by mfr., eval summary attached, method codes, result codes, conclusion codes updated.Device evaluated by manufacturer: the device was returned for analysis.The handshake connection, sheath and coil were microscopically and visually examined.The rotawire was removed from the burr catheter.The sheath is torn 24.3cm from the strain relief.The fractured/separated ends of the sheath were stretched and jagged which indicates the shaft separation was due to tensile forces.Inspection of the remainder of the device presented no other damage or irregularities.The investigation conclusion is operational context as the product meets the design & manufacture specification but due to anatomical/procedural factors encountered during the procedure, performance was limited.(b)(4).
