Manufacturer Narrative

Large sections of ptfe coating had peeled away from the proximal portion of the device; ptfe coating on distal section of device was still properly adhered.Coating adhesion testing performed with no saline soak confirmed that the ptfe adhesion failed at the proximal section of the guidewire and passed at the distal section.Coating adhesion testing performed after 1 hour saline soak found lack of ptfe adhesion at the proximal and distal end of the device.Review of manufacturing and quality records showed that the manufacturing lot had passed the in-process coating adhesion test.There were no other nonconformities observed for this manufacturing lot.Additional testing will be performed on other samples from the same coating lot if they can be obtained.

Event Description

During a complex pci just after dilation of the ostium of the lad it was noticed that the ptfe coating of the guidewire had come off of the part of the wire just outside the guiding catheter.While removing the balloon catheter further parts of the coating came loose.No patient injury or additional intervention was required, and the user did not report that any pieces of the coating were left in the patient.The patient was discharged home following completion of the procedure.
