Additional Manufacturer Narrative

This is a supplemental report to provide additional information.Only the operation wire of the subject device was returned to olympus medical systems corp.(omsc) for evaluation.Omsc found that the operation wire broke off.There was ductile fracture by tensile load at the break point.There was no abnormality in the outer diameter of the operation wire.The manufacturing record was reviewed and found no irregularities.Based on the similar cases in the past, there is a possibility that the subject device was incarcerated since the size of the calculus was larger than the bile duct.Also, there is a possibility that the operation wire broke when the operation wire was subjected to a load.The instruction manual of the device has already warned as follows; do not use this instrument for a calculus that is assumed impossible to be retrieved by this instrument in preoperative diagnosis, intraoperative contrast enhancing or after papillotomy/papillary dilation.Do not use this instrument when it is inevitable to grasp many calculus at a time.The basket with calculus engaged may not be removed from the body.Use this instrument by having the settings to switch to open surgery and the hospitalization plan ready in case this instrument with calculus engaged may not be removed from the body, or in case the calculus cannot be crushed even the lithotriptor bml-110a-1 is used in combination.This instrument will deform and/or deteriorate by performing calculus retrieval.Repetition of calculus retrieval will extend the effect.By such deformation and/or deterioration, calculus may not be retrieved and/or the basket with calculus engaged may not be removed from the body.If calculus retrieval needs to be repeated in a single case, make sure to check the action and the appearance each time that no abnormality is detected(e.G, basket wire cut or worn, tube sheath bent etc.).Stop use when any abnormality is detected.
