According to the information available, the otsc was not mounted on the endoscope all the way to the stoppers inside the cap.This results in a deeper cap space, which can promote the entrapment of external tissue structures.The unintentional injury of neighbouring tissue structures is a rare, yet known risk and assessed in the risk management file.Furthermore, the evaluation of the production related quality records revealed no abnormalities that indicate a product defect or a production related error.The assessment of the prrc revealed, that the root cause of the error is a procedural complication.

Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that after colorectal polyp removal, the removal site was closed with an otsc clip in a extra tight manner as a precaution against possible bleeding due to dual anticoagulation of the patient.Due to incomplete advancement of the endoscope tip into the otsc cap upon device installation, a larger space inside the cap resulted.When aspirating the rectal target tissue into the cap adjacent jejunal tissue was inadvertently entrapped and clipped.This led to secondary perforation of the bowel loop a few days after and resulted in peritonitis.The patient had to be treated surgically.Due to the patient's advanced underlying malignant disease, he did not recover under postoperative care and died a few days later.
