A peripheral vascular intervention procedure commenced to treat a chronic total occlusion (cto) in the patient's right anterior tibial (at) artery.During the procedure, the rep reported the spectranetics turbo elite could not cross the calcified lesion.When the device was removed from the patient, it was reported that the device's working length ''buckled'' and cracked the device's outer jacket, near where the physician was holding onto the device.A second device was used to complete the procedure.No user or patient harm was reported.This event is being reported due to the potential for exposure to manufacturing materials as well as inadvertent exposure to laser energy/radiation.
