Event Description

Olympus reviewed the following literature titled "endoscopic submucosal dissection assisted by adaptive traction: results of the first 54 procedures".Literature summary background good submucosal exposure is key to successful endoscopic submucosal dissection (esd) and can be achieved with various traction devices.Nevertheless, these devices have a fixed traction force that tends to decrease as the dissection progresses.In contrast, the atract adaptive traction device increases traction during the procedure.Methods in this retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data (from a french database), we analyzed esd procedures performed with the atract device between april 2022 and october 2022.The device was used consecutively whenever possible.We collected details of lesion characteristics, procedural data, histologic outcomes, and clinical consequences for the patient.Efficacy and adverse events a perforation was a complete opening in the muscular layer (sydney 4 or 5), whereas an incomplete muscle tear was defined as damage to the inner circular muscle layer (sydney < 4).Perforation was classed as immediate when diagnosed during the procedure or delayed when discovered later after recovery.Delayed bleeding was defined as a decrease in hemoglobin > 2 g/dl or clinically overt bleeding requiring endoscopic hemostasis and/or blood transfusion.Results 54 resections performed in 52 patients by two experienced operators (46 procedures) and six novices (eight procedures) were analyzed.The atract devices used were the atract-2 (n = 21), the atract 2 + 2 (n = 30), and the atract-4 (n = 3).Four adverse events were observed: one perforation (1.9%), which was closed endoscopically, and three delayed bleeding events (5.5%).The r0 rate was 93 %, resulting in curative resection in 91% of cases.Safety no specimen was damaged by the traction force.One perforation (1.9 %) occurred, and it was closed endoscopically.Three delayed bleeding events (5.5 %) were observed, with one patient requiring secondary hemostatic endoscopy, but none requiring delayed surgery.In five procedures the atract device failed technically.There were two tightening failures, and there were three procedures where clips pulled away from their fixation (one from the rubber band and two from the oral loop).These events did not compromise the completion of the intervention.Conclusion esd using the atract device is safe and effective in the colon and rectum, but can also be used to assist with procedures in the upper gastrointestinal tract.It may be particularly useful in difficult locations.Type of adverse events/number of patients peroperative perforation - 1 patient delayed bleeding - 3 patients atract failure - 5 patients.

Event Description

Although additional information was requested, the author reported that there was "no mention at all of an olympus device" in the literature article.

Manufacturer Narrative

The device history record was unable to be reviewed for this device since the serial and/or lot number was not provided.However, olympus only releases products to market that meet all manufacturing specifications and final product release criteria.Based on the results of the investigation, the relationship between the device and the adverse event cannot be confirmed.There was no complaint reported on the subject device.There is no evidence of an olympus device malfunction.Therefore, the root cause cannot be determined.This supplemental report includes additional information received from the author.B5 updated accordingly.Also, a correction has been made to g2 to provide information that was inadvertently not included in the initial medwatch.Olympus will continue to monitor field performance for this device.
