diamondback 360 peripheral orbital atherectomy system

Cardiovascular Systems

Summary: The Diamondback 360 Peripheral Orbital Atherectomy System is used for plaque modification in peripheral arterial disease. Key evidence highlights its use in critical limb ischemia and optimizing TAVR access.

FDA Clearance Information

Pathway 510K
Number K152694 ↗
Decision Date October 21, 2015
Product Code MCW
Device Class Class 2
Evidence 19 studies

The Diamondback 360 Peripheral Orbital Atherectomy System was cleared by the FDA via the 510(k) pathway on October 21, 2015. It is manufactured by Cardiovascular Systems and is classified as a Class 2 device.

What It Is

The Diamondback 360 Peripheral Orbital Atherectomy System is a device designed to modify plaque in peripheral arteries. It uses an orbital mechanism to sand away calcified plaque, facilitating revascularization in patients with peripheral arterial disease.

Clinical Applications

Commonly used in scenarios such as critical limb ischemia and heavily calcified iliofemoral access for TAVR procedures. It is particularly useful in cases where traditional angioplasty may be insufficient due to severe calcification.

Evidence Summary

The literature includes 7 studies, comprising retrospective analyses and observational studies, published between 2015 and 2020. These studies explore various clinical applications and economic impacts of the device.

Reported Outcomes

Published studies report that the Diamondback 360 is effective in facilitating revascularization in patients with critical limb ischemia and optimizing access for TAVR procedures. It has shown utility in managing heavily calcified arteries where traditional methods may fail.

Safety Profile

Reported complications include guidewire fractures during procedures, as noted in a review of the MAUDE database. These events, while not systematically studied, highlight the need for careful procedural management.

Evidence Limitations

The evidence is limited by the lack of large-scale randomized controlled trials. Most studies are observational or retrospective, which may introduce bias. Further research is needed to systematically assess long-term outcomes and safety.
