The case states that the medivators jetprep irrigation tool caused minor bleeding and cuts to the colon wall while doing an endoscopy procedure.This was the first procedure that the physician used the jetprep.Being unfamiliar with its functionality, this may have caused the minor cuts and bleeding due to incorrect positioning/placement.Medivators personnel were present during the procedure and reported that the physician was not concerned with the situation and indicated that the irritation would heal quickly.The patient did not suffer any serious injury or long term side effects as a result.The patient was discharged from the hospital the same day.According to reports, the jetprep did not malfunction and was operating according to specifications.This complaint will continue to be monitored within medivators complaint system.
