During set-up for a procedure, the saline line of the diamondback coronary orbital atherectomy device (oad) was unable to be flushed of air.Attempts were made to flush the oad using the prime button and a syringe, but the attempts were unsuccessful.A second oad was used for the procedure.The procedure was completed with no patient complications.

The reported oad with the saline line was received for analysis.It was observed that the saline line luer connector was fractured at the proximal edge of the y-adaptor.The exact cause of the damage was unable to be determined.Additional testing for purging the device of air bubbles was unable to be performed due to the fracture.There was no other damage observed to the device that would have contributed to the event.The oad was tested and the device spun at both speeds with no abnormalities observed.At the end of the device analysis investigation, the reported event of being unable to flush the saline tubing of air was unable to be confirmed as additional testing was unable to be done due to the fracture.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.Csi id# (b)(4).
