Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Block h6: imdrf device code a0401 captures the reportable event of cutting wire broken.Block h10: the returned stonetome was analyzed, and a visual evaluation noted that the cutting wire was broken from the distal pierced hole, which is consistent with the findings when the device was observed under magnification.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.Based on the condition of the device, the problem found could have been generated if there was contact between the device and the scope during energization or if the generator exceeded the maximum of voltage during the procedure.Also, energizing the device prior to performing sphincterotomy can compromise the cutting wire's integrity and cause a premature cutting wire fatigue.It is most likely that procedural or anatomical factors encountered during the use of the device could have affected the device performance and its integrity.Based on all gathered information, the most probable root cause of this complaint is adverse event related to procedure.A labeling review was performed and, from the information available, this device was used per the instructions for use (ifu) / product label.
