Event or Problem Description
The olympus representative reported that during a therapeutic duodenal papillotomy (est) procedure, the single-use 3-lumen sphincterotomy v knife wire had broken while being used with the esg-100/electrosurgical generator.The setting on the high-frequency cauterization power supply on the esg-100 was not reported.The intended procedure was completed successfully with another similar device.There were no reports of patient harm associated with this event.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The device was evaluated by olympus.The evaluation found that the allegation was confirmed.The knife wire was broken.The wire coating was torn, and the broken part was scorched and melted.The outer diameter of the knife wire was measured; there was no abnormality.There were no problems with the length of the knife wire and wire coating, and there were no defects in the actual product.No other abnormalities that could lead to breakage of the knife wire were confirmed.The investigation is ongoing, and follow-up with the user facility is currently being performed.A supplemental report will be submitted upon completion of the investigation or if any additional information is provided by the user facility.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
This report is being supplemented to provide additional information based on the legal manufacturer's investigation.A review of the device history record found no deviations that could have caused or contributed to the reported issue.Based on the results of the investigation, a specific root cause could not be identified.However, likely causes for the cutting wire breakage could be: 1.The cutting wire where the wire coating was torn came into contact with the distal end of the endoscope when the forceps elevator was raised.2.Under circumstances described above 1, an electric conduction was activated.This caused the cutting wire to become hot instantly at the contact point.As a result, the cutting wire broke.A likely factor causing tears of the coated portion of the cutting wire might be the following.However, the exact cause could not be determined.The slider was slightly pushed causing the cutting wire to deflect.The coated portion of the cutting wire has possibly been rubbed due to the effect of contacting a metal area of the endoscope.The instructions for use identify verbiage that could prevent the phenomenon: "since the cutting wire is very thin, it may break off in the following cases: the distance between the papilla of vater and the cutting wire is very short, the output is too high or activated while the cutting wire touches metal parts of the endoscope, or the cutting wire is tightened too strong.When the cutting wire breaks off, its proximal end will be retracted toward the endoscope if the slider is pulled.If the slider is pushed, the cutting wire will be pushed out toward the papilla or move sideways.If the cutting wire breaks off, stop the output immediately and pull the slider completely to retract the broken cutting wire into the tube.Then withdraw the sphincterotome from the papilla.Otherwise, patient injury, such as perforations, bleeding, or lacerations within the biliary duct, and/or damage of the endoscope could result.When inserting the instrument into the endoscope, be sure that the cutting wire is parallel to the tube.Otherwise, the metal part of the forceps elevator may contact the cutting wire and peel off the coating material.Do not activate output while tissue is in contact with the torn or damaged coated portion of the distal end.If output is activated while tissue is contacting the torn or damaged coated portion due to insertion into or withdrawal from an endoscope, leakage current, decreased output, and/or thermal injury could result.If you feel the cutting is blunt, withdraw the device from the scope to examine if there is any peel off and tear at the coating portion." olympus will continue to monitor the field performance of this device.
