Manufacturer Narrative

Investigation evaluation: a product evaluation was not performed in response to this report because the product said to be involved was not provided to cook for evaluation.The report could not be confirmed.The device history record for the lot number said to be involved was reviewed.A discrepancy or anomaly was not observed with the product that was released for distribution.Investigation conclusion: we could not conduct a complete investigation because the product said to be involved was not returned for evaluation.A definitive cause for the reported observation could not be determined.According to the report, this 0.025" wire guide was used with a cook uts-20.The ultra taper sphincterotome is intended to be used with a 0.021" wire guide.Use with a non-compatible device can result in wire guide damage.Although the device was later used with a compatible device manufactured by another manufacturer, potential wire guide damage from use with the cook uts-20 could have contributed to the events described in this report.If additional or excess pressure is applied to the wire guide and/or accessory device(s) while moving the wire guide inside the accessory device(s), this could contribute to wire guide coating damage.Prior to distribution, all cook acrobat 2 calibrated tip wire guides are subjected to a visual inspection to ensure device integrity.A review of the device history record confirmed that the lot said to be involved met all manufacturing requirements prior to shipment.Corrective action: a review of the complaint history was conducted and this represents an isolated occurrence.Corrective action is not warranted at this time based on the quality engineering risk assessment.Quality assurance will continue to monitor for complaint trends and reassess the risk assessment results as post market feedback continues to become available.
