Event or Problem Description
|
|
During an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ercp), the physician used a cook acrobat calibrated tip wire guide.The wire guide and a cook tri-tome pc triple lumen sphincterotome (tri-25m-p) were advanced to the desired position (bile duct), and after one (1) minute the surface of wire guide peeled off [coating damage].The user retracted the wire guide and sphincterotome together [loss of wire guide access] from the patient and used another of the same product to finish the procedure.A section of the device did not remain inside 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.

Cook tri-tome pc triple lumen sphincterotome, tri-25m-p.Investigation evaluation: our evaluation of the product said to be involved confirmed the report.Approximately 16.9 to 26.7 cm from the distal end was a section of bare core wire.Approximately 14.8 cm to 16.9 cm from the distal end, the wire guide covering folded over itself.A section of the coating approximately 7.6 cm long was frayed and hanging from the wire guide, the coating was still attached at approximately 14.8 cm from the distal end.The wire guide was bent at the tip to approximately 1.9 cm from the distal end.The wire guide was also bent approximately 5.7 cm to 7.8 cm and 18.6 cm to 26.0 cm from the distal end.Rough surfaces were found throughout the entire length of the wire guide.Due to the condition of the returned device it could not be determined if any sections of the coating were missing.A product-specific discrepancy that could have caused or contributed to this observation was not observed during our laboratory analysis.The device history records for the wire guide subassembly lots were reviewed.The wire guide subassembly device history records contain nonconformances that could potentially be related to wire guide damage.The device goes through different inspections prior to leaving the facility.These inspections would have removed any nonconforming devices prior to distribution.A discrepancy or anomaly was not observed with the product that was released for distribution.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: a definitive cause for this observation could not be determined because the actual use conditions could not be duplicated in the laboratory setting.Due to a variety of clinical conditions such as patient anatomy, endoscope position or progression of disease state, we could not reproduce the actual conditions of product usage during our laboratory analysis.This limits our ability to conclusively determine a cause.If additional pressure is applied to the wire guide and/or accessory device(s) while moving the wire guide inside the accessory device(s), this could contribute to wire guide coating damage.Coating damage contributes to loss of wire access.Prior to distribution, all cook acrobat calibrated tip wire guides are subjected to a visual inspection to ensure device integrity.A review of the device history record confirmed that the lot said to be involved met all manufacturing requirements prior to shipment.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.
