Block h6 (device codes): medical device problem code a0401 captures the reportable event of cutting wire broken.Block h10: the returned dreamtome rx 49 was analyzed, and a visual evaluation noted that the cutting wire was broken and blackened which were consistent to the findings when the device was observed under magnification.A functional evaluation was not performed due to the condition of the device.No other problems with the device were noted.The reported event of cutting wire break was confirmed.Upon analysis, it was found that the cutting wire was broken, and blackened.The cutting wire being blackened indicates that the device was energized.Based on the condition of the device, the problem found could have been caused if the device was energized prior to performing sphincterotomy which can compromise the cutting wire's integrity, also it can cause a premature cutting wire fatigue, as mentioned in the instructions for use (ifu).Based on all gathered information, the most probable root cause of this complaint is adverse event related to procedure.A review of the manufacturing documentation for this device revealed that no anomalies or deviations related to the event occurred during manufacturing.A labeling review was performed and, from the information available, this device was used per the instructions for use (ifu) / product label.
