Event Description

Olympus was informed that five pts tested positive for carbenepenum resistant enterbacteriaceae containing new delhi metallo-beta-lactamase (cre-ndm) after having undergone an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ercp) procedure.
The pts were examined with the same duodenovideoscope.
On (b)(6) 2013, the fifth pt underwent an ercp with biliary sphincterotomy and biliary metal stent placement and subsequently developed bile duct and pancreatic duct dilation, and postprandial abdominal pain.
The pt was hospitalized for an unspecified amount of time.
Since (b)(6) 2013, the pt has been receiving outpatient chemotherapy.
On (b)(6) 2013, rectal swab from the pt tested positive for cre-ndm.
On (b)(6) 2014, the pt was admitted with intractable nausea and vomiting.
An endoscopy support specialist was dispatched to the user facility.
A reprocessing in-service has not been scheduled to date.

This supplemental report is being submitted to provide additional information based on further review of the complaint record.
On (b)(4) 2014 the olympus endoscopy support specialist (ess) visited the user facility to observe the facilities reprocessing practices and to provide additional reprocessing training.
The following observations were noted during the visit: the user facility was using a non- olympus cleaning brushes, which are short and narrow.
There was no suction pump and suction cleaning adapter in the reprocessing room, and the scopes were not being hang freely as instructed in the reprocessing manual.
The reprocessing manual clearly states that a suction pump is needed during the manual cleaning process (see tjf-q180v reprocessing manual, pages 65-66).
The suction pump is required to allow the user to aspirate the detergent solution through the tjf-q180v's instrument channel and suction channel.
