It was reported to boston scientific corporation that a spyscope digital access and delivery catheter was used in the ductus choledochus during a cholangioscopy procedure performed on (b)(6) 2018.According to the complainant, during the procedure, the physician noticed that the working channel sleeve of the spyscope ds protruded while performing electrohydraulic lithotripsy (ehl).There were no reported issues with the accessory device.The procedure was still completed with this device.The patient had bleeding in the duct which was stopped with adrenaline injection.In the physician's assessment, it is unknown if the bleeding was due to the spyscope ds or was related to stone retrieval.The patient's condition at the conclusion of the procedure was reported to be stable.

(device codes): the problem code 2979 captures the reportable event of working channel sleeve protrusion.A visual assessment was performed.As received, the working channel sleeve protruded.Maximum working channel sleeve protrusion was observed 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, as well as the proximal strands of the working channel sleeve braid remaining attached to the pebax, appear to show evidence of adhesion.The complaint was consistent with the reported event of working channel sleeve protruding.Based on 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 working channel sleeve 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.
