The reported oad was returned for analysis with the guide wire utilized during the procedure engaged in the device.Resistance was felt when removing the guide wire from the driveshaft, and a fragment of fractured spring tip coil was found inside the driveshaft.Scanning electron microscopy was performed and identified the particles of radiopaque material inside the oad tip bushing, indicating that the oad was operated over the guide wire spring tip.Additionally, rotational marks and severe mechanical damage to the solder bond were noted, which exceeded the damage typically observed after a driveshaft is operated over a guide wire spring tip.It is possible that the spinning driveshaft made contact with the guide wire spring tip and continued to spin while making contact multiple times, however this could not be confirmed.At the conclusion of the device analysis investigation, the reported event of the device becoming stuck on the guide wire was confirmed.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.Csi id# (b)(4).
