Concomitant medical product: cook acrobat 2 calibrated tip wire guide, awg2-35-260.Occupation: non-healthcare professional.Investigation evaluation: a product evaluation was not performed in response to this report because the product said to be involved was not provided to cook for evaluation.The report could not be confirmed.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: we could not conduct a complete investigation because the product said to be involved was not returned for evaluation.A definitive cause for the reported observation could not be determined.Damage to the catheter tip can also occur if the precurved stylet is forcefully removed.The instructions for use instruct the user: ¿upon removing device from package, uncoil and straighten sphincterotome.Carefully remove precurved stylet from cannulating tip." if the elevator of the endoscope remains in the closed/up position when retraction of the sphincterotome is attempted and if additional pressure is applied, this could contribute to damage at the catheter tip.The instructions for use caution the user: "elevator should remain open/down when advancing or retracting sphincterotome." this activity will aid in device preservation.The instructions for use also advise the user to: ¿visually inspect with particular attention to kinks, bends and breaks.If an abnormality is detected that would prohibit proper working condition, do not use." prior to distribution, all fusion omni-tome sphincterotomes are subjected to a visual inspection and functional test 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: a review of the complaint history was conducted and this represents an unusual occurrence.The likelihood of occurrence is considered rare.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.

Event or Problem Description
|
|
During an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ercp), the physician used a cook fusion omni-tome sphincterotome.When the sphincterotome tip came into endoscopic view, it was apparent the dome tip was damaged.Upon removal, it was confirmed that the tip felt "sharp".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.

Continued from section d11: cook acrobat 2 calibrated tip wire guide, awg2-35-260.Continued from section e3 occupation: non-healthcare professional.Investigation evaluation: our laboratory evaluation of the product said to be involved confirmed the report.A visual inspection of the catheter was performed and the distal tip of the device appears to be distorted/damaged.It is not known at what point the distal tip became distorted/damaged.Fraying was observed in the catheter approximately 144.5 cm, 148 cm and 152.2 cm from the distal end.No section of the sphincterotome device was missing.A product discrepancy or anomaly that could have contributed to this reported occurrence was not observed.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.Damage to the catheter tip can also occur if the precurved stylet is forcefully removed.The instructions for use instruct the user: ¿upon removing device from package, uncoil and straighten sphincterotome.Carefully remove precurved stylet from cannulating tip." if the elevator of the endoscope remains in the closed/up position when retraction of the sphincterotome is attempted and if additional pressure is applied, this could contribute to damage at the catheter tip.The instructions for use caution the user: "elevator should remain open/down when advancing or retracting sphincterotome." this activity will aid in device preservation.The instructions for use also advise the user to: ¿visually inspect with particular attention to kinks, bends and breaks.If an abnormality is detected that would prohibit proper working condition, do not use." prior to distribution, all fusion omni-tome sphincterotomes are subjected to a visual inspection and functional test to ensure device integrity.The functional test includes bowing the sphincterotome to ensure the distal end responds to handle manipulation.A review of the device history record confirmed that the lot said to be involved met all manufacturing requirements prior to shipment.Corrective action: a review of the complaint history was conducted and this represents an unusual occurrence.The likelihood of occurrence is considered rare.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.
