Event Description

It was reported to boston scientific corporation that an endovive one step button was used during a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy procedure on (b)(6) 2021.During the procedure, when one step button was introduced in the oral cavity with the insertion wire and was pulled out from the stoma, a severe resistance was felt, the connection part of the tube and sheath part was separated.The detached portion was retrieved using a snare.The procedure was completed with a new endovive one step button.There were no patient complications reported as a result of this event.It was reported that no incision was made from the body surface to inside the stomach.The instructions for use (ifu) state: with scalpel, make a 1.5cm incision at the selected site.A smaller incision may contribute to excessive resistance of the one-step button when exiting the skin.

Block h6 (device codes): problem code a0501 captures the reportable event of one step button detached.Problem code a150205 captures the reportable event of one step button difficult to advance.Block h10: the c-flex tubing of the endovive one step button was returned.Visual analysis of the device revealed that the tube was broken at the distal section however the button was not deployed.In addition, the tubing presented procedural fluids that showed the broken area was narrowed.The reported complaint was confirmed.Based on the condition of the returned device, engineers determined that the failure modes were caused due to user error of not performing an incision.The resistance and difficulties that were encountered as the user was placing the device may have been caused by extra tension which may have ended up breaking the c-flex tubing.Boston scientific has determined the most probable cause of this complaint is failure to follow instructions.It is most likely that the problems traced to the user not following the manufacturer's instructions.A review of the manufacturing documentation for this device revealed that no anomalies or deviations related to the event occurred during manufacturing.
