On 07/12/17, pentax medical was made aware of a report from the (b)(6) regarding an event in (b)(6) of cross contamination of klebsiella pneumoniae via a fiberscope (fi-10rbs serial no.(b)(4)) between 2 patients in cardiothoracic intensive care on (b)(6) 2017.(b)(6) reported that the first patient indicated the presence of the bacteria at the time of the procedure and the second patient tested positive following the procedure.(b)(6) reported that the 2 patients died from their underlying pathologies.(b)(6) reported that a third patient who had a fibroscopy on (b)(6) 2017 (before the endoscope was quarantined) was informed of the possible exposure and has no clinical signs of infection.(b)(6) further reported that the endoscope was still contaminated despite disinfection.The fiberscope was received by pentax (b)(4) from the facility on (b)(6) 2017 without any information about the contamination.The inspection found a perforated bending rubber.The fiberscope was repaired and reprocessed.Microbiological sampling was performed on the fiberscope on (b)(6) 2017.The sampling laboratory reported the following results: operating channel 1 cfu of bacillus sp., suction channel <1 cfu.A request for the device to be shipped from pentax (b)(4) to pentax europe (b)(4) was made on 07/13/2017.Pentax europe (b)(4) received the fiberscope ((b)(4)) on 07/17/2017.Inspection performed by pentax europe (b)(4) found the fiberscope to be leaky at the control body at the valve seat and appeared to have been previously repaired.In addition, the device looked worn, many scratches were noted and the insertion flexible tube was buckled and squeezed.Microbiological sampling was performed on the fiberscope on (b)(6) 2017.Results showed no critical pathogens, therefore the device met the hygienic microbiological requirements.A device history review was performed by the manufacturer which showed no discrepancies.The device is currently at pentax europe (b)(4).Pentax europe (b)(4) and pentax (b)(4) are currently investigating the event.
