Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Imdrf device code a1409 captures the reportable event of peg tube obstructed.The customer reported that the device was disposed and will not be returned.As such, physical analysis has not been conducted in our laboratory.However, a device history review was performed and determined that, based on the nature of the reported event and the reported device lot number, the peg tube obstruction was likely the result of the manufacturing process.With all the available information, although the device has not been returned, boston scientific corporation (bsc) determined that the peg tube obstruction was likely caused by adhesive inside the hypo-tube of the transition joint.Adhesive is used during assembly, and it is likely that the obstruction was the result of incorrect placement or excessive use of adhesive, resulting in obstruction of the hypo tube.Bsc initiated a corrective and preventive action (capa) investigation to determine the root cause of this issue.Investigation identified a potential scenario in which the tip of the glue dispenser touches the threaded tip of the barb as it moves into position for glue and torque at the mini bolster.This could cause glue to migrate into the lumen of the barb component and cause a blockage.An initial containment was implemented on 05dec2023, and the pneumatic flow valve of the equipment was adjusted to ensure that the glue dispenser does not move into position until the barb is in the correct position, preventing the potential for this issue to reoccur.Additional corrections were implemented on 05feb2024 to add 100% pin gage inspection after the mini bolster step for push method device types.An investigation to address this problem has been completed.A labeling review was performed, and from the information available, this device was used per the instructions for use (ifu)/product label.
