Event Description
|
The customer reported that a therapeutic gastric ulcer bleeding case was being done.Prior to the procedure, two injectors were opened and inspected by the nurse.No issues were found when the injectors were tested.During the procedure, when the injector, with the needle out, was inside the scope, the nurse injected the adrenaline solution; however, the solution was unable to flow.The solution was stuck and could not flow through the lumen despite multiple attempts.The nurse tried to examine and test the injector after taking it out of the scope, but the same issue occurred.The procedure was completed using another injector.There was no reported patient harm or impact due to this event.

Manufacturer Narrative
|
This report is being supplemented to provide additional information based on the legal manufacturer's final investigation.A review of the device history record found no deviations that could have caused or contributed to the reported issue.Based on the results of the investigation, it was likely that the phenomenon occurred due to the compressive bucking on the needle tube in the handle.The compressive buckling on the needle tube was likely caused when the needle was extended because of the great friction between the outer tube and the needle.It was likely that the friction between the outer tube and the needle increased by the following factors.The needle extended/retracted while the tube was coiled in inspection of operation.The slider was abruptly pushed.Angle of the distal end of the endoscope.Kink of the tube.However, the root cause of the reported event could not be identified.Olympus will continue to monitor field performance for this device.
