Event Description

The event as described by the medical authorization holder in japan: the operator initialed cag examination for the purpose of ffr.The operator advanced the optowire to the site of severe stenosis but was unable to cross the lesion.During several attempted at wiring, there was no sensation of the wire extension, which was also confirmed by angiographic finding.The operator immediately placed a microcatheter (caravel) over the optowire and retrieved the wire.The guidewire was severed when confirmed outside the body.No broken wire remained in the body.Thereafter, no pci was performed and only an examination was completed.The patient was not injured and was discharged from the hospital at normal schedule.

Manufacturer Narrative

Optowire lot number ow-2336d related to this incident was investigated by the medical device authorization holder.According to the complaint report shared with opsens, the distal side of the broken wire had been discarded by the hospital and only the proximal side of the wire was observed.According to the mah investigation report, the wire was severed near the laser joint welding.The characteristics of the fracture indicated that the guidewire broke from bending fatigue.Based on the narrative and picture of the investigated wire, it is estimated that the repeated attempts to cross the tortuous vessels, combined with the bending of the external proximal side of the guidewire, led to the fracture by bending fatigue of the guidewire's shaft.According to the device history record, optowire iii lot number ow-2336d was released per specifications.No nonconformities or deviations were documented.The risks associated with the event are disclosed in the optowire iii instructions for use (ifu): never advance an optowire against resistance without first determining the reason for the resistance under fluoroscopy.Excessive force against resistance may result in damage to the wire and/or to the vessel.If resistance occurs and the cause of resistance cannot be determined, do not move or torque the optowire.Stop the procedure, determine the cause of resistance under fluoroscopy and take appropriate action.
