Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Device evaluated by manufacturer: the returned product consisted of a rotawire ic device.The proximal end, wire body, and distal end were visually and microscopically examined.Visual and microscope inspection of the analysis of the returned product revealed that the rotawire was fractured at the spring tip.The fractured portion of the device was not returned for analysis.The damage to the annulus was found to be consistent with continuous interaction between the rotawire and the rotating burr, most closely resembling a wear fracture.Inspection of the remainder of the device presented no other damage or irregularities.
