Device evaluated by manufacturer: the device was returned for analysis.The handshake connection, sheath, burr, and coil were microscopically and visually examined.Inspection of the device presented no damage or irregularities.The rotalink advancer that was used in the procedure was not returned for analysis, therefore, functional testing was performed with a test advancer.The burr catheter was connected to the advancer which was then connected to the rotablator control console system and was able to reach optimum speed with no issues and there were no abnormal noises or leaks.The burr was able to rotate and reach optimum speed during functional testing, and the clinical circumstances could not be replicated.
