Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The clip will not be returned to olympus for evaluation.The cause of the reported event could not be determined.However, based on similar reported events related to the reported device, the operator¿s technique cannot be ruled out as a contributory factor.The instruction manual provides warning to mitigate the risk of patient injury and device damage that states, ¿keep the insertion portion of the instrument that extends from the biopsy valve and the insertion portion of the endoscope as straight as possible.Do not perform clipping with the insertion section being coiled.Otherwise, the force exerted on the control section may not convey to the clip adequately during clipping.This could result in reduced performance, making it impossible to close the clip or detach it from the coil sheath after clipping.When forcing the clip against the tissue, do not try to rotate the clip.Doing so may tear tissue inside the body cavity, resulting in patient injury, such as perforation, bleeding, or mucous membrane damage.Do not try to forcibly remove the clip if it becomes caught on the distal end of the coil sheath.Forcible removal of the clip could cause patient injury such as perforation, bleeding, or mucous membrane damage.¿.
