Manufacturer Narrative

Concomitant medical products: (b)(4) 22g shark core fna/fnb needle.Conclusions: operational context caused or contributed to event.Investigation evaluation: our evaluation of the first returned product said to be involved confirmed the report.The distal soldered tip is missing and the coil spring has unraveled up to the proximal solder joint.We are unable to determine how much of the device is missing.The missing tip was not provided with the return.The wire guide has a few rough surfaces throughout, but no other anomalies.Our evaluation of the second returned product said to be involved confirmed the report.The distal soldered tip is missing and the coil spring has partially unraveled toward the proximal solder joint.We are unable to determine how much of the device is missing.The missing tip was not provided with the return.The wire guide has a few rough surfaces throughout, but no other anomalies.The devices will be returned to the supplier for a full evaluation.The device history record for the lot number said to be involved was reviewed.A discrepancy or anomaly was not observed with the product that was released for distribution.Investigation conclusion: a definitive cause for this observation could not be determined because the actual use conditions could not be duplicated in the laboratory setting.Due to a variety of clinical conditions such as patient anatomy, endoscope position or progression of disease state, we could not reproduce the actual conditions of product usage during our laboratory analysis.This limits our ability to conclusively determine a cause.The instructions for use state the following as the intended use for this device: "this device is used to assist in cannulation of the biliary and pancreatic ducts and to aid in bridging difficult strictures during ercp." the instructions for use state the following for contraindications: "contraindications include those specific to ercp." the instructions for use state, "do not use this device for any other purpose other than stated intended use." the report indicates that the wire guide was used with an endoscopic ultrasound (eus) device.The instructions for use provide the following precaution: "use of this wire guide with metal tip ercp devices may result in damage to the external coating and/or tip of the wire guide." the report indicates that the wire guide was used with a metal tip device.Prior to distribution, all roadrunner wire guides are subjected to a visual inspection to ensure device integrity.A review of the device history record confirmed that the lot said to be involved met all manufacturing requirements prior to shipment.Corrective action: a review of the complaint history was conducted and this represents an unusual occurrence.The likelihood of occurrence is considered rare.Corrective action is not warranted at this time based on the quality engineering risk assessment.Quality assurance will continue to monitor for complaint trends and reassess the risk assessment results as post market feedback continues to become available.Additional comments regarding this report: based on the information provided, a cook representative has contacted the medical facility involved in an effort to promote further education and understanding related to appropriate usage of this product.

Event Description

During a rendezvous procedure in the stomach, the physician used a cook roadrunner wire guide.The wire guide shredded after being pulled through a (b)(4) 22g shark core fna/fnb needle, which is not indicated to be used with a wire guide in this manner [off label use].The tip was missing.There was no harm to the patient, however the tip of the wire guide remained in the patient's stomach.The device was received for evaluation on 08/25/2016.Two (2) devices were received with the same malfunction (both tips detached).The following clarification on the second device was received from the sales representative: "this wire was used in the exact same case with the exact same results." the following information on the retrieval of the detached wire guide tips was received 08/29/2016 via the sales representative: "the tips were allowed to pass naturally through the patient".
