Manufacturer Narrative
|
The subject device has not been returned for evaluation.The exact cause of the reported event cannot be determined.Based on the past similar cases, it is assumed that the event occurred due to either of the following possible causes: the sliding resistance increased between the operation wire and the coil sheath due to the shape of insertion portion or angulation of the endoscope, or the clipping was not completed since the slider was not pulled to the end.The instruction manual of the device states: "do not try to forcibly withdraw the instrument from the endoscope if the clip cannot be detached from the instrument.Forcibly withdrawing the instrument could cause patient injury such as punctures, hemorrhages or mucous membrane damage.Do not withdraw the instrument or change the angulation of the endoscope when clipping is not completely finished (when the slider is not pulled to the end).Doing so may tear tissue inside the body cavity, resulting in patient injury, such as punctures, hemorrhages or mucous membrane damage." if additional information becomes available this report will be supplemented accordingly.
