The reported oad was received for analysis with the guide wire.The crown driveshaft section of the oad was found to be detached and the guide wire was received with a detached spring tip.The spring tip fragment was not received for analysis and no stent fragments were noted on the returned devices.Scanning electron microscopy (sem) was performed on the driveshaft and found fatigue on multiple filars as well as evidence that filars had been destructively cut.The driveshaft was found to be overloaded at the lap weld, indicating that the device experienced some form of resistance while spinning.This may have been the result of spinning inside a stent, though this could not be confirmed.The sem analysis also found evidence of torsional overload on the fractured guide wire.Target lesions located inside a stent are contraindicated per the peripheral oad ifu.At the conclusion of the device analysis investigation, the reported device detachment was confirmed.However, the root cause of the detachment was unable to be determined.The device history record for this oad lot number has been reviewed.No issues or discrepancies were noted during this review that would have contributed to the reported event.The device met material, assembly, and quality control requirements.The material inspection report for the guide wire was unable to be reviewed, as the lot number was not provided.(b)(4).

During a peripheral atherectomy procedure using a csi orbital atherectomy device (oad), the device became detached and caught on a stent.The target lesion was located in the iliac and was highly calcified.Following the first pass with the oad, the device became detached and the driveshaft and guide wire became caught in a previously placed stent.One portion of the device was retrieved with a snare, and balloon angioplasty was performed.An additional portion of the detached device along with the remainder of the stent were removed surgically.The patient was discharged the following day in stable condition.
