Pentax medical was made aware of an event on 20-nov-2023 that occurred in china within the apac region in the operating room during use.On 22-oct-2023, during a fiberoptic bronchoscopy with sputum aspiration, the endoscope entered into the patient's airway via the trachea cannula, and when the endoscope needed to have the lens rotated, the user found that the angulation control knob could not be pressed up and down, resulting in the bending part of distal end becoming stuck in the trachea cannula.The endoscope could not be withdrawn successfully which result in the patient's airway being restricted, and the patient was in respiratory distress with an obstructed ventilation tube.The balloon was immediately deflated and the tracheal tube was removed [along with the endoscope], and only the tracheal tube was reinserted and connected to the ventilator to assist breathing.After that, the patient's breathing was stable and ventilation was restored, with oxygen saturation returning to normal.This event meets the requirements for fda reportability; however submission of this report does not constitute an admission that medical personnel, user facility, importer, manufacturer or product caused or contributed to the event.
