Event or Problem Description
|
|
A diamondback coronary orbital atherectomy device (oad) was used to successfully treat a lesion located on the mid-distal section of the circumflex artery.The oad was removed, and the viperwire guide wire was left in vivo for stent placement.Following stent placement, a balloon was inserted, and was unable to track over the wire.Imaging revealed that the wire was no longer in the vessel, and when the wire was pulled backward the spring tip of the guide wire remained in place.Multiple unsuccessful attempts with angioplasty balloons and a non-csi guide catheter were made to retrieve the fragment.Three guide wires were then inserted to surround the fragment, and it was successfully retrieved from the patient's body.The patient was discharged and doing well.

Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The reported guide wire was returned at csi for analysis, without the spring tip.Visual examination confirmed a fracture on the core shaft.Scanning electron microscopy of the guide wire revealed evidence of torsional dimples and rotational wear near the fracture.The surface wear was the result of use in an elevated stress environment and was consistent with the oad spinning in a tight bend, but not traversing, resulting in excessive wear on the guide wire.At the conclusion of the device analysis investigation, the reported event was confirmed, however the root cause could not be determined.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.Csi id: (b)(4).
