Block h6: imdrf device code a15 captures the reportable event of clip did not deploy.Imdrf patient code e2311 captures the reported event of discomfort.Imdrf impact code f11 captures the reported event of minor injury.Block h10: investigation results the returned resolution 360 clip device was analyzed, and a media analysis noted the device original label.It was also noted the evidence of full deployment and with the catheter kinked next to the bushing.A visual evaluation was performed, and the device returned without the clip assembly.Microscopic examination was performed, and it was found that the bushing had hits and the catheter was unraveled at the distal end.Dimensional analysis was performed between the hooks of the bushing and both sides were noted to be within specification.No other problems with the device were noted.The reported event of clip unable to release from the catheter was not confirmed.Investigation found that the device returned without the clip assembly and with evidence of full deployment.It is important to mention that the presence of this component is very important to the investigation, this because the event reported is directly related to this piece, and to get a clarification of which could be the reason of the problem faced by the physician, this component must be inspected.Additionally, it is important to take in consideration that during the product analysis, the dimensions between the hooks of the bushing were measured, and they were within specification.Excluding the possibility that the components dimensions interfered with the device performance.The analyzed condition of the catheter being unraveled was due to operational factors such as the user's technique during the clip deployment could have caused this failure.The returned device review showed no evidence of either the alleged(s) or any defect which could have contributed to the event.Therefore, the most probable root cause for this complaint is no problem detected.A product labeling review identified that the device was not used per the instructions for use (ifu)/product label as the investigation found evidence of the device misuse at the information provided in the complaint.The ifu addresses correct steps for treat the device when this can't release normally form the catheter.The ifu states that, "do not forcibly pull back on a clip that is deployed and has not detached from the coil.This will tear the tissue and likely result in severe bleeding.A wire-cutter should be available on the endoscopy cart and be used to cut the coil where it exits the endoscope.The endoscope can then be removed leaving the clip and coil intact.The patient will require urgent surgery to remove the imbedded clip from the tissue.".
