The reported orbital atherectomy device (oad) was returned with the guide wire engaged and stuck in the device.Detailed analysis revealed adhered and embedded biological material on the driveshaft and on the guide wire which prevented removal of the guide wire from the device.There was no damage observed with the device or the guide wire that would have contributed to the reported event.When tested the device spun during all three speeds and functioned with no abnormalities observed.The morphology of the biological material is not known and the exact root cause of accumulating tissue remains unknown.Examination in the areas of the adhered tissue did not reveal any damage that would have contributed to the accumulation.At the conclusion of the device analysis investigation, the reported event of the oad becoming stuck on the guide wire was confirmed.However, the root cause of the device becoming stuck on the guide wire, crown jumping, and dissection could not be conclusively determined.(b)(4).
