Event or Problem Description
It was reported that device entrapment occurred.During a percutaneous coronary intervention (pci) procedure, a rotapro 2.00mm and rotawire were selected to treat a 99% stenosed, moderately calcified and moderately tortuous lesion within the right coronary artery (rca).Following a stall of the burr, upon removal it was noted the rotapro and rotawire were stuck together and were removed as one unit.The procedure was completed and no patient complications were reported.
 
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Device evaluated by manufacturer: returned product consisted of the rotapro atherectomy device.The advancer, drive shaft, and handshake connection were visually examined.Inspection of the device found that blood was present within the sheath and advancer.Functional testing was performed with the returned rotawire.During functional testing, the returned rotawire was able to be removed with severe resistance, but was not able to be reinserted into the rotapro device due to the presence of blood within the device.Further functional testing was performed by attempting to rotate the drive shaft, and the drive shaft was not able to be rotated.When the rotapro advancer was connected to the rotapro console control system and the knob switch (ablation button) was pressed, the device stalled and would not run due to the blood within the sheath and advancer.The sound of air escaping the device could be heard during the device stall.Product analysis confirmed the reported events, as the presence of blood within the device prevented reinsertion of the rotawire, and lead to a stall error where air was heard escaping the device.
