Investigation ¿ evaluation.University hospital and clinics informed cook on 02/23/2022 of an incident involving a salivary stone extractor basket sseb-1.7-115-8 from lot # 14211827.It was reported that the basket broke during a salivary stone removal procedure on 02/23/2022.Additionally, it was reported that the stone was too large to be removed from the duct, resulting in a lot of resistance when removing the stone.Part of the basket remained in the patient.The physician then entered through a small incision on the cheek and retrieved the wire and stone.The patient reportedly experienced no harm as a result of the issue.A review of the complaint history, device history record, instructions for use (ifu), manufacturing instructions, and quality control, as well as a visual inspection and functional test were conducted during the investigation.A device failure analysis was conducted on the returned device.The basket of the returned device was damaged.One of the basket wires was broken and there was damage to the sheaths that hold the basket wires in place.Charing was also observed on the broken wires.Additionally, a document-based investigation evaluation was performed.In response to this incident, cook completed a review of the product device master record.Cook has concluded that sufficient inspection activities are in place to identify this failure mode prior to distribution.A review of the device history record (dhr) for lot 14211827 recorded no non-conformances.A lot history search found no other complaints had been reported for this lot.Because there were no related non-conformances, adequate inspection activities had been established, there was objective evidence that the dhr was fully executed, and no other lot related complaints had been received from the field, it was concluded that there was no evidence that nonconforming product exists in house or in field.Cook also reviewed product labeling.The product ifu, t_tse_rev4, provides the following information to the user related to the reported failure mode: precautions: this product is intended for use by physicians trained and experienced in sialendoscopy.Standard sialendoscopic techniques should be employed.Assess calculi and other foreign bodies prior to instrument deployment to ensure that the object is not too large to be removed through the anatomy.(factors predicting successful stone retrieval with sialendoscopy-assisted basket retrieval include stone size (less than 3 or 4 mm for parotid and submandibular stones, respectively), shape (long and narrow or round), orientation (largest diameter parallel to duct), distal location of the stone in the main salivary duct, and if calculus is free-floating after ductal irrigation.Note that each patient's anatomy will vary.1-3).If resistance is encountered while attempting to remove calculi or other foreign bodies, release the object.Excessive force could damage the device.If the basket does not readily release the captured object, further manipulation may be necessary.During device withdrawal, take care to keep the shaft as straight as possible.Withdrawing the device at an excessive angle or curvature may damage the shaft.The information provided upon review of complaint file, device history record, complaint history, and quality control documents did not provide evidence to support that the device was manufactured out of specification or to suggest items in the lot or similar devices in the field or in house were nonconforming.Based on the information provided, inspection of the returned device, and the results of the investigation, it was determined the cause of this event is related to patient condition.The observed damage on the returned device was consistent with a large tensile force being applied to the device, as described in the information provided by the user.The ifu supplied with the device states in the precaution section to ensure that the object is not too large to be removed through the anatomy, and that excessive force could damage the device.The information provided by the user stated the stone was too large to be removed from the duct.It was concluded that the issue was caused by the condition of the patient in that the stone was too large to be removed through the gland.The appropriate personnel have been notified.Cook will continue to monitor for similar complaints.Per the risk assessment no further action is required.This report is required by the fda under 21 cfr part 803 and is based on unconfirmed information submitted by others.Neither the submission of this report nor any statement contained herein is intended to be an admission that any cook device is defective or malfunctioned, that a death or serious injury occurred, nor that any cook device caused, contributed to, or is likely to cause or contribute to a death or serious injury if a malfunction occurred.
