Manufacturer Narrative

A visual evaluation of the returned device found that the working length was twisted and the cutting wire was kinked.The exposed cutting wire length was within specification.Functional inspection was performed.The unit was tested inside and outside the duodenoscope, and the unit was able to bow and release the bow within specification.The condition of the returned unit was not consistent with the complaint incident that the tip of the tome failed to unbow.The complaint was not confirmed.Therefore, the most probable cause is operational context, since anatomical and/or procedural factors encountered during procedure could have affected the device performance.A dhr (device history record) review was performed and no deviation was found.A search of the complaint database confirmed that no other complaints exist for the specified batch.
