The fractured spring tip was returned without the proximal core shaft for analysis.There was no evidence of rotational damage on the proximal spring tip filars.This is consistent with a fracture resulting from the driveshaft spinning too close to the spring tip.The root cause of the fracture is considered to be use not consistent with the diamondback 360 peripheral orbital atherectomy device instructions for use (ifu).The ifu cautions: "never advance the orbiting crown to the point of contact with the guide wire spring tip or other distal device.The maximum travel of the crown advancer knob nd therefore the shaft tip is 15 cm.Moving the crown advancer knob forward moves the shaft tip an equal distance toward the guide wire spring tip.When moving the crown advancer knob, make sure there is sufficient distance between the guide wire spring tip (or other distal device) and the distal end of the shaft (10 cm minimum).If the distance between the shaft tip and the guide wire spring tip (or other distal device) is insufficient, the shaft tip may damage the guide wire spring tip (or other distal device) and result in device or component dislodgement.Distal detachment and embolization may result".Csi id: (b)(4).
