Event or Problem Description
|
|
After deploying two sets of fasteners in one location and moving to a second location, the user reported the helical retractor "felt loose" and "didn't feel right" and made an unsuccessful attempt to engage tissue.Upon visual inspection by the user, it was observed the helix was protruding 90-degrees from the distal end of the tissue mold.An attempt to straighten the helix using the endoscope was unsuccessful.The user subsequently attempted to straighten the helix using the endoscope grasper but was unsuccessful.After the unsuccessful attempts, the endoscope grasper was used to cover the helix to safely remove the device.A secondary r2005 device was used to successfully complete the procedure.There is no reported patient injury.
