Manufacturer Narrative

Investigation evaluation: a product evaluation was not performed in response to this report because the product said to be involved was not provided to cook for evaluation.Photos were provided and reviewed.An evaluation of the photos provided by the user confirmed the report on cutting wire detachment.The photo provided of the device in the endoscopic view shows a detached portion of the cutting wire.We were unable to determine the length of the detached portion from the photo.The lot number was confirmed based on the photo provided of the label.Without return of the complaint device a complete evaluation could not be performed.The device history record for the lot number said to be involved was reviewed.A discrepancy or anomaly was not observed with the product that was released for distribution.Investigation conclusion: we could not conduct a complete investigation because the product said to be involved was not returned for evaluation.A definitive cause for the reported observation could not be determined.A broken cutting wire can occur if the tip of the device is over flexed.The instructions for use caution the user: "do not over flex or bow tip beyond 90 degrees, as this may damage or cause cutting wire to break." cutting wire breakage can also occur if the cutting wire makes contact with the endoscope when electrosurgical current is applied to perform sphincterotomy.The instructions for use caution the user: "when applying current, ensure cutting wire is completely out of endoscope." the instructions for use caution the user: ¿contact of cutting wire with endoscope may cause grounding, which can result in patient injury, operator injury, a broken cutting wire and/or damage to endoscope." if the sphincterotome is used with excessive electrosurgical current settings provided by the electrosurgical unit, this can contribute to cutting wire breakage.The instructions for use direct the user: ¿before using this device, follow recommendations provided by electrosurgical unit manufacturer to ensure patient safety through proper placement and utilization of patient return electrode." cutting wire breakage can occur if the elevator of the endoscope is in the closed or up position when advancing or retracting the sphincterotome.The instructions for use caution the user: "elevator should remain open/down when advancing or retracting sphincterotome." this activity will aid in device preservation.Prior to distribution, all cotton cannulatomes are subjected to a visual inspection and functional test to ensure device integrity.The functional test includes bowing the sphincterotome to ensure the distal end responds to handle manipulation.A review of the device history record confirmed that the lot said to be involved met all manufacturing requirements prior to shipment.Corrective action: corrective action is not warranted at this time based on the quality engineering risk assessment.Quality assurance will continue to monitor for complaint trends and reassess the risk assessment results as post market feedback continues to become available.

Event Description

During an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ercp), the physician used a cook cotton cannulatome.As reported to customer relations: "the cutting wire on this sphincterotome completely came off in the patient.They were able to retrieve [the cutting wire] with forceps.Another sphincterotome was used successfully." a section of the device did not remain inside the patient¿s body.The detached portion of the sphincterotome cutting wire was retrieved with forceps due to this occurrence.According to the initial reporter, the patient did not experience any adverse effects due to this occurrence.
