Product analysis: the hawkone was returned for evaluation.It was not connected to a cutter driver.No ancillary devices were included.A visual inspection was completed and a hole to the tecothane was observed approximately 2cm distal of the cutter window.At the location of the hole was the rim of the cutter assembly.The location of the hole was on the top plain of the coiled housing opposite the guidewire tubing.The hole and tecothane material flared outward in a distal direction.The coils showed uneven pacing at the location of the hole showing signs of compression.At the hole the housing was bent at an approximate 45 degree angle.The observed hole is an area where biological debris collected and within the compact stroke (2.2cm distal the cutter window) of the hawkone.Functional testing was not performed due to the risk of likely causing additional damage to the coiled housing where the damage was observed.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
