Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
This is a supplemental report to provide additional information.The subject device was not returned to olympus medical systems corp.(omsc) for evaluation, because the subject device was discarded by the user.The manufacturing record was reviewed and found no irregularities.The exact cause of the problem could not be conclusively identified, since the device was not retuned for the investigation.No abnormalities were found in the manufacturing record.Therefore, the phenomenon which was pointed out could not be confirmed.From the results of similar projects in the past, it is probable that the event you pointed out was caused by pressing the cup or needle too much against the tissue.The above device handling has warned in the instruction manual as follows.Do not force the distal end of the insertion portion against body cavity tissue.Doing so could cause patient injury, such as perforation, bleeding, or mucous membrane damage.If you press the instrument¿s distal end too hard against the tissue in an attempt to take a sample more than needed, the risk of perforation increase.Do not take more than needed.Biopsy may cause bleeding.If you take a large sample or press the instrument¿s distal end against tissue excessively, the risk of bleeding will increase.Perform biopsy on minimum necessary spots only.
