The results of the investigation are inconclusive since the reported device was not returned for analysis.Based on the information received, the cause of the reported event could not be conclusively determined.The device history record for the reported oad was unable to be reviewed, as the lot number was not provided.The diamondback peripheral orbital atherectomy device instructions for use states that dissection is a possible adverse event which can occur with use of the diamondback peripheral orbital atherectomy device.(b)(4).

During a procedure with a diamondback peripheral orbital atherectomy device (oad), a dissection occurred.The 100% occluded, heavily calcified, 120mm long target lesion was located in an area of the right peroneal artery that was 4mm in diameter.The lesion was crossed with aggressive non-csi guide wires, and the guide wire was exchanged for a csi viperwire guide wire.It was confirmed that the guide wire was not subintimal and there were no observed dissection flaps present.After the third treatment pass on low speed with the oad, the crown of the oad caught a dissection flap, and the oad made a high-pitched noise.The oad was turned off and removed from the patient, and wire access was lost.When the device was removed, tissue was observed on the crown of the oad.The lesion was re-crossed, and the procedure was completed, and the type a dissection was treated with balloon angioplasty.Imaging after treatment confirmed there was a good result.The patient was okay following the procedure.
