Note: this report pertains to the second of two devices used during the same procedure.It was reported to boston scientific corporation that a stonetome was used in the common bile duct during an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ercp) procedure performed on (b)(6) 2019.According to the complainant, during the procedure, when the nurse attempted to bow the device, it was noticed that the cut wire was oriented in the wrong direction which was reportedly pointing at 6 o'clock direction.It remained unusable as the orientation could not be corrected.A second stonetome was used but same thing happened.Reportedly, there was no tortuous anatomy impacting scope positioning and no visible damage to the devices prior to putting it through the scope or after the issue occurred.The procedure was completed with the different device.There were no patient complications reported as a result of this event.
