The subject device was not returned to olympus medical systems corp.(omsc) for evaluation.Therefore, the exact cause of the reported event could not be conclusively determined.The lot number of the subject device is unknown.As a result of checking the manufacturing record for past one year from the delivery date, it was found no irregularities.Based on the past similar cases, it was known that subject device could not be removed due to the state of the calculus.Also, the intended use of the subject device is to retrieve biliary calculus but the subject device was used to retrieve and to crush pancreatic calculus in this event.Therefore, the operation beyond the intended use of the subject device may be the cause of the event.The above device handling has been warned in the instruction manual as follows; a) do not use this instrument for a calculus that is assumed impossible to be retrieved by this instrument in preoperative diagnosis, intraoperative contrast enhancing or after papillotomy/papillary dilation.Do not use this instrument when it is inevitable to grasp many calculus at a time.The basket with calculus engaged may not be removed from the body.Use this instrument by having the settings to switch to open surgery and the hospitalization plan ready in case this instrument with calculus engaged may not be removed from the body, or in case the calculus cannot be crushed even the lithotriptor bml-110a-1 is used in combination.This instrument will deform and/or deteriorate by performing calculus retrieval.Repetition of calculus retrieval will extend the effect.By such deformation and/or deterioration, calculus may not be retrieved and/or the basket with calculus engaged may not be removed from the body.If calculus retrieval needs to be repeated in a single case, make sure to check the action and the appearance each time that no abnormality is detected (e.G, basket wire cut or worn, tube sheath bent etc.).Stop use when any abnormality is detected.
