Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Block h6: imdrf device code a0401 captures the reportable investigation results of cutting wire broken.Block h11: investigation results : the returned truetome jag 44 was analyzed, and a visual and microscopic evaluation noted that the cutting wire was broken and detached.Additionally, the working length was kinked.No other problems with the device were noted.The product analysis revealed that the cutting wire was broken and detached.Based on the condition of the device, the wire break could have been generated if there was contact between the device and the scope during energization or if the generator exceeded the maximum of voltage during the procedure.Also, energizing the device prior to performing sphincterotomy can compromise the cutting wire integrity and cause a premature cutting wire fatigue.Once the cutting wire breaks, any attempt to remove the device from the scope can detach the cutting wire.Also, the working length kinked could be caused by operational factors, such as manipulating the device through difficult anatomy, the used technique for the device manipulation or by the interaction between the device and the scope (hitting against a hard surface).Based on all gathered information, the most probable root cause is adverse event related to procedure.
