It was reported to boston scientific corporation that a dakota¿ nitinol stone retrieval device with opensure¿ handle was used in the ureter and kidney during ureteroscopy procedure performed on (b)(6) 2018.According to the complainant, during the procedure, when a stone was captured in the dakota¿ nitinol stone retrieval device with opensure¿ handle, the physician attempted to remove the stone through the access sheath.However, the stone was too large to be removed.An attempt to release the stone was done by trying to push the dakota¿ with entrapped stone back into the kidney, but again the stone was unable to be released.The end effector wire of the dakota¿ broke.The physician then pulled the dakota¿ with entrapped stone back to the access sheath, and removed them all together from the patient.During the removal, however, the ureter was perforated and was bleeding.A cautery device from another manufacturer was used to try to stop the bleeding, but is unknown if there was any treatment given for the perforation.There were no patient complications reported as a result of this event.The patient's condition at the conclusion of the procedure was reported to be fine.
