Event or Problem Description
|
|
This is 3 of 3 reports.The physician reported that the patient¿s left kidney failed after undergoing a laser lithotripsy using the subject device.There was no device problem observed during the procedure and no apparent patient injury noted during the procedure.During the procedure, the physician noted two kidney stones measuring 2mm and 6mm.The intended procedure was completed using the same device, and the patient was discharged from the physician¿s clinic with pain medication.Four to six weeks the patient returned for a follow up visit.During the visit an x-ray was performed to check the surgery site, and the physician noted a stone like object in the surgery site, which is measuring about 15mm x 10mm in size.As a result the patient was reexamined using a flexible ureteroscope (model/serial number unknown) and a ct-scan was later performed as well.The ct-scan confirmed that the patient¿s ureter had a calcified tissue, and the physician described it like a thermal damage, which likely made one of the patient¿s kidney to fail.However, dr.(b)(6) stated that the patient did not report any pain, the calcified tissue in the ureter was confirmed only through imaging.The patient is reportedly doing well.The patient¿s stent was removed from the patient on (b)(6) 2020.Cross reference related mfr.Report numbers: 3003790304-2020-00115 and 3003790304-2020-00116.
