Event Description

This complaint was created due to the receipt of a medsun report (2200710000-2022-8035) received on (b)(6) 2023.A search of the complaint system has not found a complaint reported for this device/lot number during this timeframe.The report was found to be written against the dis150, disposable marked spring tip guidewire.The report states that on (b)(6) 2022 ¿savary wire was used for esophageal dilation.The distal end of the wire kinked/ bent leaving a jagged edge ultimately injuring the distal esophageal mucosa and ge junction.The wire was removed from the patient and bagged with the original packaging.There was injury or impact to the patient or user.Per the surgeon¿s op notes, ¿the ge junction was at 45cm from the incisors, and we noticed that the spring-loaded guidewire had kink at the junction where the wire meets a spring load component.This created a sharp edge and appeared to create some mucosal injury at the ge junction.We saw some mucosa that was lifted up in a small area.The surgeon did not think there was any full-thickness injury.There was a little bit of bleeding.The surgeon scoped carefully around this area and then entered the stomach, which had no injury.We performed a retroflexed view of the underside of the ge junction, which had no injury and no mucosal tear." this report is being raised due to the reported injury of mucosal lifted up in a small area.
