The customer reported to an olympus endoscopy account manager that a patient had an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ercp) using an evis exera iii duodenovideoscope (tjf-q190v) with disposable cap (subject device, maj-2315).Suction was set at 120mm/hg for this procedure.During this procedure, the doctor noticed bleeding from the patient's mouth after the scope was inserted.The doctor withdrew the tjf-q190v scope, and the procedure was aborted.The patient had to remain intubated after the procedure.The patient was transferred to another hospital for a higher level of care.Five days later, a repeat ercp and esophagogastroduodenoscopy (egd) was performed by a second doctor using the older model scope without disposable tip.During this procedure the doctor saw a 13cm long 2-3mm wide healing laceration extending from her ge junction to the upper mid esophagus.The injury necessitated blood transfusion, prolonged endotracheal intubation following the initial ercp, hospital transfer to a higher level of care, several more days stay as an inpatient, as well as causing significant painful swallowing for 2-3 days.The patient's current condition was described as recovered fully, discharged home, with a planned ercp to remove the bile duct stent which was placed, probably in mid to late (b)(6) 2021.Additional information was later provided by the customer: the customer was unaware of the scope ¿malfunctioning.¿ the disposable cap used in the procedure was not available for evaluation, it was discarded after the procedure.Operative reports were provided with the following information: for the procedure completed (b)(6) 2021: the patient took enoxaparin last one day prior to the procedure.The patient's asa (anesthesia risk score) was iii-patient with severe systemic disease.The diagnostic ercp was aborted due to pyloric stenosis and esophageal mucosal injury resulting from the passage of the duodenoscope with bleeding.The ercp was technically difficult and complex due to excessive bleeding and duodenal stenosis.Evaluation of the duodenoscope revealed the plastic tip in proper position.For the procedure completed (b)(6) 2021: the patient's asa (anesthesia risk score) was iii-patient with severe systemic disease.The patient's pylorus was slightly strictured and required dilation before passing the tjf-180 scope without distal cap.Multiple attempts (over a 30 min period) were required to cannulate the bile duct.A bile leak was visualized at the level of the cystic duct clips.A stent was placed in good position.No further consequences to the patient have been reported.This report is for the maj-2315 (single use distal cover).This report is related to complaint number (b)(4), which was reported for the tjf-q190v scope under mdr number 2951238-2021-00314.
