Manufacturer Narrative

The suspect device referenced in this report has not been returned to olympus.Additional information has been requested.The investigation is ongoing.A supplemental report will be submitted upon completion of the investigation or if additional information is received.

Event Description

An olympus representative reported on behalf of the customer that the doctor misunderstood that the patient's fluoroscopic image showed a small stone rather than a large one, and when they used the single use retrieval nitinol basket v, it was discovered that there was a large stone.The patient was incarcerated, and since the single use retrieval nitinol basket v has an incarceration avoidance function, they tried combining it with the bml handle v to avoid incarceration, but it still didn't work.The patient was rushed to another facility, where a cholangioscope was inserted into the incarcerated area, and the stone was crushed using electrohydraulic lithotripsy (ehl) to avoid incarceration.The single use retrieval nitinol basket v was successfully removed.The doctor believed that the incarceration was not caused by the device.There was no further harm or user injury reported due to the event.The related patient identifier (b)(6) reports the single use retrieval nitinol basket v.

Manufacturer Narrative

This report is being supplemented to provide additional information based on the legal manufacturer's final investigation and correction to the initial with information inadvertently left out (updated field d4).A review of the device history record found no deviations that could have caused or contributed to the reported issue.Based on the results of the investigation and investigation results of the past, it is likely that the suggested event "gall stones were stuck in basket-lithotriptor could not be retracted" occurred due to various factors such as the size, hardness or shape of the calculus, the device could not be retracted.However, the subject device was not returned and the root cause of the suggested event could not be specified.The event can be prevented by following the instructions for use which state: "during lithotripsy, keep the portion from the compatible olympus endotherapy accessories¿ coil sheath to the instrument straight in line with the endoscope¿s biopsy valve, as much as possible.If not straight, the coil sheath may bend, calculus may not be crushed, and/or the compatible olympus endotherapy accessories with calculus engaged may not be removed from the body." "do not turn the knob of the instrument abruptly when crushing a calculus.If the basket wire is broken, a strong force could cause the distal end of the basket wire to damage the inside of the bile duct and cause mucosal injury." "when using the fg-v451p to crush a calculus, part of the fg-v451p¿s basket wires could break.If this happens, combine mechanical lithotriptor (bml-110a-1) and could crush the calculus using it." olympus will continue to monitor field performance for this device.
