Additional Manufacturer Narrative
This supplemental report is being submitted to provide the results of the legal manufacturer's final investigation.A review of the device history record found no deviations that could have caused or contributed to the reported issue.The device was returned to olympus for inspection, and the customer's complaint breakage of the cutting wire during a sphincterotomy was confirmed.Based on the results of the investigation, damage to the knife wire, potentially due to high frequency current applied during contact with tissue leading to instant overheating and the exposure of the knife wire due to peeling of the cover might have resulted from the slider being slightly pushed, causing the wire to deflect and rub against a metal area, leading to tears in the coated portion is likely led to the malfunction.However, root cause could not be identified.The following is included in the instructions for use (ifu): this instruction manual contains the following information.(drawing no.Gk6226 revision no.13) ¿since the cutting wire is very thin, it may break off in the following cases: the distance between the papilla of vater and the cutting wire is very short, the output is too high or activated while the cutting wire touches metal parts of the endoscope, or the cutting wire is tightened too strong.When the cutting wire breaks off, its proximal end will be retracted toward the endoscope if the slider is pulled.If the slider is pushed, the cutting wire will be pushed out toward the papilla or move sideways.If the cutting wire breaks off, stop the output immediately and pull the slider completely to retract the broken cutting wire into the tube.Then withdraw the sphincterotome from the papilla.Otherwise, patient injury, such as perforations, bleeding, or lacerations within the biliary duct, and/or damage of the endoscope could result.¿ when inserting the instrument into the endoscope, be sure that the cutting wire is parallel to the tube.Otherwise, the metal part of the forceps elevator may contact the cutting wire and peel off the coating material.¿do not activate output while tissue is in contact with the torn or damaged coated portion of the distal end.If output is activated while tissue is contacting the torn or damaged coated portion due to insertion into or withdrawal from an endoscope, leakage current, decreased output, and/or thermal injury could result.¿if you feel the cutting is blunt, withdraw the device from the scope to examine if there is any peel off and tear at the coating portion.Olympus will continue to monitor field performance for this device.
