Manufacturer Narrative

The reported guide wire was returned to csi for analysis, engaged with the distal section of the cut driveshaft.A visual examination revealed that approximately 22.9cm of the guide wire was not returned.Scanning electron microscopy analysis of the guide wire fracture face showed some evidence of ductile dimples, and a possible tension failure that occurred when the driveshaft fractured.At the conclusion of the device analysis, the report that the guide wire had fractured was confirmed, and the identified fractures were hypothesized to be due to the applied forces used in attempts to remove the oad.The material inspection report for this guide wire 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.The orbital atherectomy device event that occurred during this procedure has been reported under 3004742232-2021-00430.Csi id: (b)(4).

Event Description
|
During attempts to remove the orbital atherectomy device, the viperwire guide wire was cut and a fragment approximately 50 to 60 centimeters in length was left in vivo.Additional attempts were made to retrieve the remaining guide wire fragment including re-wiring the vessel, inserting guide catheters over the oad driveshaft and changing the sheath size, however due to the angulation of the vessel, difficulty was encountered and the attempts were unsuccessful.The guide wire and oad were manually pulled and the oad fractured, leaving the guide wire in the oad crown, which was stuck in the circumflex artery.The guide wire extended into the aorta.Due to the patient's unstable baseline, they were turned down for surgery and another attempt to snare as much of the guide wire as possible was made.After several attempts a small piece of the guide wire broke off and was retrieved, however the rest of the guide wire remained in vivo.
