Event or Problem Description
The customer reported the knife of the sphincterotome broke off.The issue occurred during a therapeutic endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography procedure.When the surgeon was cutting the papilla, the knife suddenly broke off.The handle of the clevercut was removed and the surgeon inserted a catheter to the plastic sheath of the clevercut before removing it from the scope in order to protect the patient and the scope.Another device was opened to complete the procedure without delay.There was no reported patient harm or impact due to this event.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
This report is being supplemented to provide additional information based on the device evaluation and the legal manufacturer's final investigation.The device was evaluated where the users complaint was confirmed.The cutting wire was broken near the end face of coated portion.It was also noted that the broken portion of the cutting wire was scorched.The tube sheath was severed near the handle.The handle was not returned for investigation.Therefore, the exact lot number and manufacture date could not be identified.Based on the description given by the customer the device was manufactured in apr 2023.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 likely mechanism causing the broken cutting wire might be the following: 1.The device was not protruded enough from the endoscope until the rear end of the cutting wire was in the field of view.2.Due to the situation of ¿1¿ description, the cutting wire and the endoscope were being close to each other.3.The output was activated in state of ¿2¿ description.This might have led to an electrical discharge between the cutting wire and the distal end of the endoscope.4.An electrical discharge possibly occurred, and the cutting wire became hot instantly.That might have caused the cutting wire to break.However, a root cause could not be determined.The following is included in the device instructions for use (ifu): "¿ since the cutting wire is very thin, it may break off in the following cases: the distance between the papilla of vater and the wire is very short, the output is too high or activated while the wire touches metal parts of the endoscope, or the wire is tightened too strong.When the wire breaks off, its proximal end will be retracted toward the endoscope if the slider is pulled.If the slider is pushed, the wire will be pushed out toward the papilla or move sideways.If the wire breaks off, stop the output immediately and pull the slider completely to retract the broken wire into the tube.Then withdraw the instrument from the papilla.Otherwise, patient injury, such as perforations, bleeding, or lacerations within the biliary duct and/or damage of the endoscope could result.¿be sure that the rear end of the cutting wire is extended from the distal end of the endoscope.In case the cutting wire contacts the forceps elevator, insufficient output or unintended tissue injury may occur.¿ do not activate output while the cutting wire touches the metal parts of the endoscope, or they are being close together.This could burn the tissue and/or damage the endoscope or the instrument." olympus will continue to monitor field performance for this device.
