No malfunction of the device was reported.It worked normally and there were no issues during the procedure.The patient was seen by a surgeon and required surgical intervention and drainage six days after the procedure.Bracco has requested return of the protoco2l insufflator and plans to conduct an investigation.Additional information is required.Company comment: a (b)(6) female patient underwent a ct colonography due to an unknown reason and the protoco2l insufflator was used for insufflation of the colon.The next day she experienced slight hypogastric pain.Five days post procedure she was seen by her gynecologist due to possible pelvic infection and was hospitalized.White blood cells was 5900 mm3, increasing to 11400 mm3 with c-reactive protein of 12.3 mg/dl.The patient was diagnosed with endoceliac abscess acute generalized peritonitis considered as a result of bowel perforation.Treatment included hartmann operation and drainage.The reporting physician noted he did not know the cause of events and that the device was working normally without any failure or issues during the procedure.The pressure of the device was reported to be 16mmhg.Additionally, the protoco2l has two pressure relief valves as safety features.A 50 mmhg electrically gated pressure relief valve will open if the pressure of 50 mmhg is sustained for five seconds and an audible alarm sounds.A fixed mechanical pressure relief valve will open at 75 mmhg.There was no report of an audible alarm sounding during this procedure.It was reported that the patient experienced a perforation six days post procedure and required surgical intervention.Based on the information provided, as it occurred and if were to recur, this occurrence is assessed as reportable as a mdr because it meets the criteria for reporting.Additional information is needed to determine cause of the perforation such as the pathology of the resected bowel.Hartmann's procedure is a common operation for management of malignant obstruction of the distal colon.The pressure reading (16 mmhg) of the insufflator during the procedure is well below the safety feature of pressure relief valve (50 mmhg).Also, use of the insufflator when inflammatory or neoplastic disease is suspected is contraindicated.
