Pma/510(k) #; k172665.Investigation evaluation: a product evaluation was performed only by the picture provided with this report because the product said to be involved was not provided to cook for evaluation.The lot number provided in the photo matches this report.The label in the photo matches the product reported.The report could not be confirmed.The picture provided shows the device package.The picture is inconclusive for the reported occurrence.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.Separation of the cutting wire securing component and the catheter can occur if the tip of the sphincterotome is over flexed.The instructions for use caution the user: "do not over flex or bow tip beyond 90 degrees, as this may damage or cause cutting wire to break." other factors that can contribute to separation of the cutting wire securing component and the catheter include manipulating the handle with the catheter in a coiled position or with the precurved stylet inside the cannulating tip.The instructions for use advise the user: "upon removing device from package, uncoil and straighten sphincterotome.Carefully remove precurved stylet from cannulating tip." the instructions for use contain the following comment: "note: do not exercise handle while device is coiled or precurved stylet is in place, as this may cause damage to sphincterotome and render it inoperable." prior to distribution, all cannulatome ii pc double lumen sphincterotomes are subjected to a visual inspection and functional test to ensure device integrity.The functional test includes bowing the sphincterotome to ensure the distal end responds to handle manipulation.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.The likelihood of occurrence is considered rare.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.

Prior to an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ercp) procedure, the nurse assistant prepared a cook cotton cannulatome ii pc double lumen sphincterotome.The nurse assistant that opened the package noticed the cutting was separated at the solder joint inside the tip of the catheter and was starting to come out of the catheter [cutting wire securing component separation].It was never advanced into the endoscope.This occurred prior to patient contact; there was no impact to the patient.
