Manufacturer Narrative

There were seven previously reported issues of a mucosal burn caused by a sphinctertome wire energizing the distal end of the ed-580xt while in contact with mucosa.The image from this case appears similar to images from the previous cases.Therefore, fujifilm believes that the root cause is the same as the other reported cases.Fujifilm and fda previously collaborated to investigate the root cause of the mucosal burns.It was determined that the burns were considered minor injuries and recurrence of the issue would not likely lead to a serious injury.As such, fujifilm initially determined this new incident as non-reportable.However, fujifilm became aware of two additional incidents involving the same doctor.As such, fujifilm is submitting this report in an abundance of caution.The other incidents will be reported separately.A safety notice was distributed to all active customers on (b)(6) 2022 regarding the mucosal burn issue.They were also instructed to ensure that the full proximal end of the wire of the high-frequency device is visualized on the endoscope monitor and to review the user manuals for both the endoscope and the high-frequency device.
