Additional Manufacturer Narrative

This is a supplemental report to provide additional information.The subject device was not returned to olympus medical systems corp.(omsc) for evaluation.Therefore, the exact cause of the reported event could not be conclusively determined.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 due to the following factors; the stones were larger than the orifice of papilla.The bile duct was narrow.The basket grasped many stones at once.The basket deformed due to repeated stone removals.Also, it was known that the basket wire was broken when it underwent a load exceeding its breaking strength under the effect of the size and hardness of the stone.The instruction manual of the device has already warned as follows; repetition of calculus retrieval will deform and/or deteriorate this instrument.Deformation and/or deterioration may make it difficult to retrieve a calculus or could cause the basket with calculus engaged to become impacted in the body.If calculus retrieval needs to be repeated in a single case, be sure to inspect the action and the appearance before each retrieval.Stop use if any abnormality (e.G., basket wire is cut or worn, tube sheath is bent, etc.) is detected during the inspection.
