Patient information unavailable; facility declined to provide.Relevant tests/laboratory data not available from facility.Other relevant history not available from facility.The manufacturer anticipates return of the turbo elite device for evaluation, but has not received it at this time.
 
Event or Problem Description
It was reported that during treatment to a soft tissue lesion in the patient''s superficial femoral artery (sfa) with a spectranetics turbo elite laser atherectomy catheter, the physician reported to a philips (b)(4) representative that the "fiber was disconnected".It was clarified that red light was seen through the catheter.The procedure was completed with another of the same device and the patient survived the procedure.This event is being reported due to the potential for exposure to manufacturing materials as well as inadvertent exposure to laser energy/radiation.
 
Event or Problem Description
This event is no longer reportable for potential exposure to manufacturing materials and unintended radiation exposure.Per the returned device analysis, no breach in the device''s outer jacket was detected.This event did not result in patient harm nor would it cause or contribute to patient harm with recurrence.
