Event Description

It was reported to boston scientific corporation that a spyscope digital access & delivery catheter was used in the common bile duct (cbd) during an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ercp) procedure performed on (b)(6) 2018.According to the complainant, during the procedure, it was noticed that the working channel sleeve of the spyscope ds protruded.The problem was noticed outside of the test subject.Reportedly, there were no patient involvement in the case as the procedure was done for an animal study.The procedure was completed with another with the second spyscope digital access & delivery catheter.

Manufacturer Narrative

(b)(4).A visual assessment was performed after disinfection.As received, the working channel sleeve protruded.Maximum protrusion remained consistent when the distal tip was articulated by turning the knobs in all directions.The distal tip was cut.The distal cap was removed.The catheter was cut open using the cutting fixture.The working channel sleeve was removed.Witness marks were noted on the pebax.The white and clear areas along bond a appear to show evidence of adhesion.The complaint was consistent with the reported event of working channel sleeve protruding.Based on the investigation results, the underlying cause of working channel sleeve protrusion is an insufficient bond, particularly the second heat cycle of the working channel sleeve bonding process [bond b].Working channel sleeve protrusion in devices manufactured with post 01mar2018 changes has been determined to be a design issue.Therefore, the complaint investigation conclusion code selected for the wcs protrusion issue is design inadequate for purpose, which indicates that problems were traced to design/design features of the device that do not support or do interfere with the intended purpose of the device.An investigation is underway to address this issue.A dhr device history record review was performed and did not identify evidence of deviations or non-conformances in the manufacturing processes that could contribute to the complaint.The dhr review confirms that the accepted device met all manufacturing specifications.
