Manufacturer Narrative

Investigation result: the model number nm-401l-0623 was received for evaluation.The lot number was 16v with supplementary information number of ¿18¿.(m-bc manufacture date: june 18, 2021).Device evaluation , the following noted : 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 outer tube was not buckled.The needle tube presented compressive buckling.No other abnormalities that could lead to the phenomenon of the reported event could not be confirmed.The dhrs (device history records) for this product have been reviewed.No abnormalities were detected in the device history record with the lot number for the following inspection items which related to the reported phenomenon.Process inspection sheet.Quality inspection sheet.Nonconforming product report.Ifu (instruction for use) : the instruction manual contains the following descriptions, and it warns against this event.Straighten out the instrument before inspecting it.The instrument can be damaged if it is coiled while the handle is operated.Do not coil the insertion portion with a diameter of less than 15 cm.This could damage the insertion portion.When inserting the instrument into the endoscope, retract the needle into the sheath, hold the instrument close to the biopsy valve, and keep it as straight as possible relative to the biopsy valve.Insert the instrument slowly.Abrupt insertion could damage the endoscope and/or instrument.Stop using the instrument if the insertion portion bends excessively during use.This could result in malfunction, such as failing to extend the needle or inject a fluid.Conclusion : 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.Olympus will continue to monitor complaints for this device.
