Manufacturer Narrative

Initial reporter occupation: unknown.Investigator evaluation: an evaluation of the device confirmed the report of incorrect cutting wire orientation.During our laboratory analysis, the sphincterotome was advanced through a duodenoscope that was placed in a simulated biliary position.The duodenoscope has an accessory channel that is 4.2 mm in diameter (olympus model number tjf-160v).The catheter exited the endoscope with the cutting wire facing 10 o¿clock.Prior to being bowed, the distal end entered the simulated papilla.The device was then bowed and the cutting wire was facing 9 o'clock (appropriate orientation is approximately 11:00 - 1:00 o'clock).The sphincterotome catheter was subjected to a close visual examination and twisting of the tubing was observed.Liquid was also observed in the catheter, and difficulty in advancing the device down he scope was experienced.The catheter kinked in a couple places while attempting to advance the device down the scope.After the functional test, the cutting wire securing component (anchor) was observed to have separated from the catheter.A discrepancy or anomaly that could have contributed to the reported event was not observed during our laboratory analysis of the returned product.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: a definitive cause for this observation could not be determined because the actual use conditions could not be duplicated in the laboratory setting.Due to a variety of clinical conditions such as patient anatomy, endoscope position or progression of disease state, we could not reproduce the actual conditions of product usage during our laboratory analysis.This limits our ability to conclusively determine a cause.A factor that can contribute to improper cutting wire orientation includes 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." the user is then instructed to: "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 fusion omni-tomes are subjected to a visual inspection and functional testing to ensure device integrity.A review of the device history record confirmed that the lot said to be involved met all manufacturing requirements prior to shipment.Corrective action: 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.

Event Description

During an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ercp) procedure, the physician used a cook fusion omni-tome.The physician detected that the cutting wire orientation deviated seriously during the procedure.The device was changed to another of the same kind and the procedure was completed.A section of the device did not remain inside the patient¿s body.The patient did not require any additional procedures due to this occurrence.According to the initial reporter, the patient did not experience any adverse effects due to this occurrence.
