Physician used a hawkone directional atherectomy device with a 7 fr sheath and a non-medtronic guidewire for the treatment of a slightly tortuous, moderately calcified 300mm plaque/soft tissue lesion in the left superficial femoral artery of diameter 6mm.Ifu (instruction for use) followed during preparation, procedure, post-procedure.Guidewire was hydrated at preparation.Device was advanced over bifurcation.Vessel was not pre-dilated.It was reported that severe resistance was felt during withdrawal.The guidewire locked-up on the catheter.The guidewire lumen was torn from the distal tip.It is reported that everything was very tangled and it was difficult to tell what took place but everything was removed in tandem.Pressure was held until a new sheath could be inserted to complete the procedure successfully.Vessel was post-dilated.No patient injury reported.

Evaluation summary: the hawkone was returned inserted a cutter driver, loaded through a green non-mdt sheath, and onto a 0.014" 300cm guidewire.The toque shaft was bent at an approximate 45 degree angle beneath the strain relief.All of the returned component showed evidence of dried blood throughout.The guidewire was inserted the distal guidewire tubing of the rotating tip of the distal assembly and not the guidewire tubing of the laser drilled tip body.The exposed guidewire at the proximal inlet of the rotating tip of the hawkone showed the guidewire looped around itself.The guidewire tubing of the laser drilled tip body showed a longitudinal zipper-tear throughout the entire segment of tubing.The green non-mdt sheath was inspected and observed the distal rim/tip showed a crease/fold inwards.The guidewire inserted the hawkone was 0.014¿ outer diameter and was approximately 300 cm long.It should be noted the distal tip of the hawkone device was loaded approximately 79.5cm from the distal end of the guidewire.According to the customer the guidewire was non-mdt.The hawkone device was returned showing damage consistent with experiencing a prolapse event with the guidewire.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
