Event Description
|
During an endoscopic ultrasonography (eus), the physician used a cook echotip ultra fiducial needle.After the deployment of the third fiducial marker, the needle was unable to retract to point zero (0) in length.The fourth fiducial marker could not be deployed and remained stuck in the needle.This caused the deployment of three (3) fiducial markers only.The needle was cautiously removed from the endoscope.Other than the deployed fiducials, a section of the device did not remain in the patient¿s body.The patient did not require any additional procedures due to this occurrence.According to the initial reporter, the patient did not experience any adverse effects due to this occurrence.
