In preparation for a procedure, the user selected a cook hemospray endoscopic hemostat.It was reported that during the set up of the device, there was a loud bang and co2 [carbon dioxide] discharged.Hemospray would not deploy.This occurred prior to patient contact.At the time of this report, our attempts to collect additional information regarding patient outcome have been unsuccessful.While the complainant did not specify if the patient experienced any adverse effects or required additional medical procedures due to this event, the information able to be collected does not reasonably suggest the patient was adversely impacted.
