Manufacturer Narrative
The device referenced in this report was not returned to olympus for evaluation, as it was discarded after the procedure.Olympus contacted the user facility to obtain additional information regarding the reported event, but with no result.Since the device lot number was unknown, the dhr for the one year prior to the event date was inspected.No abnormalities detected in the dhr for the following items which related to the reported phenomenon.The root cause cannot be conclusively determined; however, based on the results of the investigation, it is likely that the following led to the reported event; 1) the loop was surrounding the body tissue, and it was temporarily ligated by pulling the slider.2) the tube sheath was pushed out, and the distal end of the coil sheath went into the tube sheath.3) an attempt was made to detach the loop in state of above description 2).Therefore, the loop detached from the hook in the tube.4) while the hook was extending from the coil sheath, the loop moved towards the proximal side and went into the coil sheath.5) the hook was pulled.This caused the hook and the loop to retract into the coil sheath together.As a result, the loop and the hook got stuck inside the coil and could not move.6) since the loop and the hook got stuck together inside the coil, the loop did not detach when the slider was pulled.This issue is addressed in the instructions for use (ifu): the instruction manual (drawing number: gk8332, revision number: 5) contains the following warnings.·do not strike or crush the coil sheath during operation.Doing so can damage the distal end of the coil sheath, which could make it impossible to detach the loop after ligation.In this case, refer to section 12, ¿emergency treatment¿ and as shown ¿equipment to be used in an emergency¿ on page 3 in this manual.·do not remove the loop from the hook while the coil sheath is not extended from the tube sheath.Otherwise, the loop may be tangled with the hook and become impossible to be removed.In this case, refer to section 12, ¿emergency treatment¿ and as shown ¿equipment to be used in an emergency¿ on page 3 in this manual.·do not hold the loop with the distal end of the tube sheath while the loop is surrounding the tissue.Otherwise, when the tissue is ligated, the loop may be detached from the hook in the tube sheath and tangled with the hook.That may make the loop impossible to be removed.In this case, refer to section 12, ¿emergency treatment¿ and as shown ¿equipment to be used in an emergency¿ on page 3 in this manual.Olympus will continue to monitor the field performance of this device.
