Jagielski et al 2022 endoscopic treatment of pancreaticopleural fistulas.Endoscopic procedures were performed under general anesthesia with tracheal intubation.All patients provided informed consent for the endoscopic procedures.All procedures were performed by a single endoscopist, and entailed carbon dioxide insufflation and the use of a linear echoendoscope (pentax eg3870utk, pentax medical, tokyo, japan), duodenoscope (olympus tjf-q180v, olympus corporation, tokyo, japan), and gastroscope (olympus gifh185, olympus corporation) [16].Transpapillary drainage: attempts to perform ercp to assess the morphology and integrity of the mpd and to employ possible endoscopic treatment were made in all patients with post-inflammatory ppf treated in our center (figures 1a¿f).In the case of disruption of the mpd, sphincterotomy (fusion omni sphincterotome fs-omni-35-480, cook endoscopy inc., north carolina, usa) was performed and a pancreatic 5 fr, 7 fr, 8.5 fr, or 10 fr endoprosthesis (zimmon pancreatic stent, cook, endoscopy inc., north carolina, usa) was introduced into the mpd and subsequently replaced every 1, 3, 6, 12, or 24 months or until no contrast leakage outside the duct was identified.Transmural drainage: if transpapillary access was not possible, transmural access (through the wall of the upper gastrointestinal tract) was obtained using the single transluminal gateway technique (sgt) (figures 2a¿d).Placement of the pancreaticogastric anastomosis in the form of a transmural cystostomy was performed under eus guidance.Anastomosis between the lumen of the gastrointestinal tract and the fistula canal was created using a 10 fr cystotome (cystotome cst-10, cook endoscopy inc., north carolina, usa) and then dilated using a high-pressure balloon with a diameter of up to 15 mm (cook endoscopy inc., north carolina, usa).A transmural 7 fr or 8 fr double-pigtail stent (cook endoscopy inc., north carolina, usa) was inserted through pancreaticogastrostomy.For active transmural drainage, a 7 fr or 8.5 fr nasal drain (cook endoscopy inc., north carolina, usa) was inserted into the canal of the fistula through pancreaticogastric anastomosis.In cases of passive transmural drainage, only 7 fr or 8 fr double-pigtail stents (cook endoscopy inc., north carolina, usa) were used through the transmural anastomosis.This file will capture 1 cases of procedural sepsis.

Device evaluation: the device evaluation could not be completed as the device or photographic evidence of the device was not returned for evaluation.This file was created from the article, "endoscopic treatment of pancreaticojejunal fistulas." complaint files (b)(4) were opened as a result of this paper.(b)(4) was opened to investigate 12 cases of off label use.(b)(4) was opened to investigate 3 cases of off label use & bleeding (b)(4) was opened to investigate 22 cases of user error of the stent exceeding indwell period.(b)(4) was opened to investigate 1 case of off label use & sepsis.Manufacturing records: manufacturing records review could not be completed as the lot number is unknown.Review historical data: historical data was not reviewed as the lot number is unknown.Instructions for use and label: the instructions for use (ifu0055), which accompanies this device states, "this device is used to drain obstructed pancreatic ducts" and in the notes section ¿do not use this device for any purpose other than stated intended use.¿ where the prophylactic use of the device in this procedure is not a stated use as per the ifu and therefore has not being tested in a clinical setting.It is also stated in the potential complications section: ¿those associated with ercp include but are not limited to: pancreatitis, cholangitis, aspiration, perforation, hemorrhage, infection, sepsis, allergic reaction to contrast or medication, hypotension, respiratory depression or arrest, cardiac arrhythmia or arrest¿.There is evidence to suggest that the customer did not follow the instructions for use.(ifu0055) image review: an image was not returned for evaluation.Root cause analysis: a definitive root cause can be attributed to the off-label use of the device, when the device is used outside its stated intended use, it may lead to outcomes that were never intended to happen and were never studied.The use of a device outside its intended use is highly prohibited as the effects of such use cannot be determined.From the information reported in the paper, the zimmon pancreatic stent was used in a transmural drainage procedure which is outside its intended use.Medical advisor input confirmed that the sepsis that occurred was likely related to the transmural drainage procedure which is off-label use.Confirmation of complaint: complaint is confirmed based on customer and/or rep testimony.Corrective action/correction: complaints of this nature will continue to be monitored for potential emerging trends.Summary of investigation: according to the customer, off-label use and sepsis.Confirmed quantity of 1 device, confirmed used.According to the information reported, the patient who developed sepsis required antibiotic therapy.Investigation findings conclude that a definitive root cause can be attributed to the off-label use of the device, when the device is used outside its stated intended use, it may lead to outcomes that were never intended to happen and were never studied.The use of a device outside its intended use is highly prohibited as the effects of such use cannot be determined.From the information reported in the paper, the zimmon pancreatic stent was used in a transmural drainage procedure which is outside its intended use.Medical advisor input confirmed that the sepsis that occurred was likely related to the transmural drainage procedure which is off-label use.
