Olympus medical systems corp.(omsc) was informed by the customer that during using two devices, the following event occurred.The devices were clogged and the medication could not be injected into the vocal folds.There was no patient injury reported.This is the first one of two reports.

Manufacturer Narrative

This is a supplemental report to provide additional information.*the intended procedure was completed with another device.*the needle worked only when retracted into the sheath.In the beginning, of course, it also worked in the extended state.The subject device was returned to olympus medical systems corp.(omsc) for evaluation.The needle could extend from the outer tube.It was not possible to inject liquid when the slider was pushed.However, it was possible to inject liquid when the slider was pulled.The tube was buckled approximately at 240 mm and 250 mm from the distal end.The needle tube presented compressive buckling.No other abnormalities that could lead to the phenomenon of the reported event could not be confirmed.The manufacturing record was reviewed and found no irregularities.It is determined that liquid could not be injected due to compressive buckling of the needle tube.Since friction resistance between the outer tube and needle tube has increased, compressive buckling might have occurred when the needle was extended.A likely mechanism causing friction resistance between outer tube and needle tube might be the following: *the tube was coiled during the inspection for operation *the slider was pushed abruptly.*the tube was buckled.A bending force might have been applied to the tube when the device was inserted into the endoscope, removed from the sterile package or during pre-use inspection.This might have caused the tube to buckle.Nm-401l series undergo 100% inspection for appearance, needle operation and injection during production process.Therefore, it can be inferred that handling the device at the facility might have contributed to the reported event.The above device handling has warned in the instruction manual.
