Pentax medical was made aware of a adverse event on (b)(6) 2023 that occurred in the operating room during use in the united states.The initial complaint report was that during an ercp(endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography) procedure, the physician passed the dec/ed34-i10t2 duodenoscope thru the stomach, thru the pylorus and into the duodenum.The rn in the room, said that the physician mentioned the stomach anatomy was tortuous, and he had to maneuver and torque the duodenoscope a bit to pass thru the pylorus.Upon positioning the duodenoscope near the papilla, the physician noticed the disposable end cap (model oe-a63) had fallen off.When the physician withdrew the duodenoscope to search for the dec, they could not find the dec.The physician noticed a small laceration.The physician removed the duodenoscope from the body.Then placed another disposable end cap on the same duodenoscope and ensured it was snuggly attached to the distal end of the duodenoscope and then completed the ercp procedure with no problems.The lot number of the second dec is unknown.The case was completed and went well according to the rn.Rn said the patient is fine and they do not think they even intervened on the bleed site.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.
