On 06-apr-2016, pentax issued a u.S.Urgent field correction which is an ifu addendum for endoscopes with instrument channels.This addendum covers any operational/cleaning accessories and therapeutic devices which can become lodged in the endoscope's instrument channel.It reminds customers to carefully check that all accessories are intact, that no parts have fallen off and become lodged within the endoscope's instrument/suction channel and to ensure that any therapeutic devices (e.G., clips, stents, balloons, etc.) passed through the instrument channel and are accounted for after use.The instructions for use for this model endoscope instructs the user to "maintain view of the accessory during advancement, use and withdrawal of the device".A device history review was performed on 11-dec-2017 confirming the gastroscope was manufactured under normal conditions, passed all required inspections, and was released accordingly.Also, there were no reworks or concessions and the dates of approval for shipment and actual date shipped were confirmed.No further information has been received for this event, therefore pentax considers this medwatch report closed.
