Patient's exact age is unknown; however, it was reported that the patient was over the age of 18.A visual assessment was performed.As received, the working channel sleeve (wcs) protruded.Maximum wcs protrusion was observed when the distal tip was articulated by turning the small knob in the counterclockwise direction.The distal tip was cut.The distal cap was removed.The catheter was cut open using the cutting fixture.The wcs was removed.Witness marks were noted on the pebax.The white and clear areas along bond a appeared to show evidence of adhesion.The complaint was consistent with the reported event of working channel sleeve protrusion.Based on investigation results, the root 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 pre 01mar2018 changes has been determined to be a manufacturing issue, therefore, the complaint investigation conclusion code selected for the wcs protrusion issue is manufacturing deficiency, which indicates that problems were traced to the manufacturing process.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.
