During a peripheral atherectomy procedure using a csi orbital atherectomy device (oad), a device malfunction occurred leading to a procedural delay.During device preparation, two oads would not spin prior to insertion into the patient.The saline pump was noted to be in standby mode and was determined to be the source of the issue.Troubleshooting was performed for 45 minutes, however the issue was not resolved and the procedure was completed with balloon angioplasty.There were no patient complications reported.

The reported saline pump was received for analysis with two oads utilized during the procedure.When the saline pump was tested with the returned oads, it repeatedly defaulted to standby mode.The oads were tested with an in-house saline pump and were found to function as intended.The saline pump motor was diagnostically examined and was found to operate at a slower speed when in a cold state as opposed to a hot state, resulting in the pump entering standby mode.At the conclusion of the device analysis investigation, the reported event was confirmed.The device history record for this saline pump and oad lot numbers 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.Csi id# (b)(4).
