Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Pma/510(k): k212323.Investigation evaluation: a product evaluation was performed only by the picture provided in response to this report because the product said to be involved was not provided to cook for evaluation.Per the photo provided we cannot complete a full evaluation.Without the product or substantial evidence to contradict the complaint, it is considered confirmed based solely on statements and photo describing the event.The picture provided shows the device in the pouch, and the label matches the rpn/lot number provided in the report.Also, we see the device in a coiled position, and the blue hook is shown at the distal end of the device.The deployed clip can not be seen in the package.No other conclusions can be made from the photo.The device history record for the lot number said to be involved was reviewed.A discrepancy or anomaly was not observed with the product that was released for distribution.Investigation conclusion: we could not conduct a complete investigation because the product said to be involved was not returned for evaluation.A definitive cause for the reported observation could not be determined.The system preparation section of the instructions for use includes the following: "uncoil device.Verify smooth handle operation and clip action.Open clip by gently moving handle spool distally (away from handle thumb ring).Once clip is fully open, do not continue advancing handle spool as clip may prematurely detach from catheter.Close clip by moving handle spool proximally until clip is fully closed.Caution: do not continue to pull handle spool beyond tactile resistance as this may prematurely deploy clip." the ifu states: "endoscope must remain as straight as possible when inserting or withdrawing device." the ifu states: "with clip closed and without holding handle spool, advance device in small increments into accessory channel of gastroscope or colonoscope.Caution: holding handle spool during advancement may prematurely deploy clip." failure to follow the instructions above can result in damage to the device which may lead to premature clip deployment.Prior to distribution, all instinct endoscopic hemoclips are subjected to a visual inspection and functional testing to ensure device integrity.A review of the device history record confirmed that the lot said to be involved met all manufacturing requirements prior to shipment.Corrective action: a review of the complaint history was conducted.The likelihood of occurrence is considered rare.Corrective action is not warranted at this time based on the quality engineering risk assessment.Quality assurance will continue to monitor for complaint trends and reassess the risk assessment results as post market feedback continues to become available.
