A peripheral atherectomy procedure commenced to treat a plaque lesion in the mid anterior tibial (at) vessel.The physician chose to use a spectranetics turbo elite laser atherectomy catheter to treat the patient.When they were going to insert the turbo elite device for a second run through the lesion, they noticed the tip of the catheter was melted.Another turbo elite device was used to complete the procedure with no reported patient harm.Photos of the returned device reveal a breach in the device's outer jacket with exposed, broken fibers.Based on the photos received by the manufacturer, this event is being reported for unintended radiation exposure, potential for harm.

G3): device evaluation and investigation were completed on 05 nov 2021.H6): device evaluation: the device was returned and evaluated by a cross functional team.A breach to the outer jacket and broken fibers were seen approximately 1.5 in from the device''s distal tip.The device''s outer jacket was twisted 0.5 in from the device''s distal tip, but no breach or broken fibers were seen in this area.The twist and breach to the outer jacket likely occurred during removal of the device before attempting a second pass through the lesion.This has been determined to be a use related failure.
