Manufacturer Narrative

Image review: images were provided and sent to cri for review.Impression: limited clinical information and images from an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy were submitted demonstrating what appears to be multiple mucosal masses arising from the stomach.These were described as being neuroendocrine tumors in the complaint report.In total, 3 neuroendocrine tumors were described and 2 of the 3 were removed without any incident using the ducette multiband mucosectomy device.On the images submitted for review, the second tumor appeared to be the largest, measuring 5 to 6 mm per report, and resection of this mass resulted in perforation.The physician did not remember if the electrocautery excision was performed above or below the band.In addition to the perforation, there was also minimal hemorrhage in this area.The focal perforation was closed with an otsc clip and the hemorrhage appear to be self-limited, although this was not elaborated on in the complaint report.As discussed in the ifu, and reported in the literature, perforation is a known complication of this device, and can occur if too much of the tissue is aspirated into the scope at time of the band placement.The incidence of perforation is still very rare occurring only 0-1.2% of the time.The complaint report states that the suction could not be adjusted during the procedure, and ¿probably too much tissue was taken¿.In addition, if the cut is made below the band, this too may also increase the likely hood creating a perforation.This complication does not appear to be a product of the device malfunctioning, but rather user error in removing too deep of specimen at time of resection.Fortunately, the perforation was closed with an otsc clip and per the report, the patient did not require any additional procedures due to this occurrence.Furthermore, bleeding is the most common complication described in the literature with the utilization of this device and can be seen up 46% of the cases.The minimal bleeding described seemed to be self-limited.Documents review including ifu review: prior to distribution dt-6-5f devices are subjected to a visual inspection and functional checks to ensure device integrity.These inspections and functional checks are outlined in internal procedures in place at cirl.A review of the manufacturing records for dt-6-5f of lot number c1614534 did not reveal any discrepancies that could have contributed to this complaint issue.The review of relevant manufacturing records, confirms the failure mode has not previously occurred with the current lot number.Based on the information available to date, there is no evidence to suggest that there are any manufacturing issues associated with lot number c1614534.As per instructions for use, ifu0026-10, warnings section: ¿failure to isolate the tissue to be biopsied or the pseudopolyp to be removed by pulling it away from the mucosal wall may result in fulguration of normal mucosa and/or perforation.¿ root cause review: a definitive root cause could not be determined from the available information.A possible root cause could be attributed to user error in removing too deep of specimen at time of resection.Summary: complaint is confirmed based on customer testimony and imaging review.According to the information reported, the patient¿s stomach was perforated and was closed with an otsc clip.Complaints of this nature will continue to be monitored for potential emerging trends.

Event Description

Device was implemented in stomach and damaged inner stomach lining, bleeding occurred "as per complaint form": 3 neuroendocrine tumours in stomach, smallest one at cardia was taken away with duette, second tumour size 5-6mm at the upper part of the corpus, wasn't subcutaneously injected, cannot remember if he cut above or underneath, perforated, was closed with otsc clip, third tumour in antrum taken away superficially fda mdr reporting required: this event meets the criteria of an fda ¿serious injury¿ report as per fda guidelines ¿medical device reporting for manufacturers (2016)¿ section 2.13 and 2.15 as the patient's inner stomach lining was damaged and intervention was required to stop the bleeding (perforated, was closed with otsc clip).
