Additional Manufacturer Narrative
This report is being supplemented to provide additional information based on the approved final 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, and since the device was discarded, the definitive root cause of the balloon rupture could not be determined.The instruction manual identifies the following verbiage, which may have prevented the phenomenon: ¿·never inflate the balloon to a diameter of more than 20 mm when using the endoscope in the trachea.This could result in suffocation of the patient.·never withdraw the endoscope while the balloon is still inflated.Otherwise, the balloon may burst or come off the distal end of the endoscope.If the balloon cannot be deflated, insert the channel cleaning brush (bw-400b) into the irrigation port.Using slow, short strokes, carefully feed the brush to remove debris.After that, the balloon can be deflated.·when withdrawing the endoscope, make sure that the balloon is completely deflated, using the ultrasound image and endoscopic field of view.Withdrawing the endoscope while the balloon is inflated could result in patient injury.·always lubricate the balloon before insertion.Otherwise, the balloon could rupture or come off.This could result in patient injury.·the balloon can tear easily, beware of sharp objects.¿ olympus will continue to monitor field performance for this device.
