Manufacturer Narrative

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.Prior to distribution, all tri-tome pc triple lumen 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: 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 Description

In preparation for a procedure, the user selected a cook tri-tome pc triple lumen sphincterotome.This device was considered defective due to the misplacement of the cutting wire on the tip of the catheter.It [cutting wire] was tilted more to the right then in the middle [tip bent wrong way], so performing the sphincterotomy would have been almost impossible.This occurred prior to patient contact; there was no impact to the patient.

Manufacturer Narrative

Continued from section e3: occupation: non-healthcare professional.Investigation evaluation: our laboratory evaluation of the product said to be involved could not confirm the report.A visual examination of the cutting wire showed no twisting at the distal end.The device was bowed and the cutting wire oriented in the upward direction.A discrepancy or anomaly that could have contributed to the reported event was not observed during our laboratory analysis of the returned product.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 prior to use testing conditions could not be duplicated in the laboratory setting.This limits our ability to conclusively determine a cause.A discrepancy or anomaly that could have contributed to the reported observation was not observed during our laboratory analysis of the returned product.A determination of cutting wire orientation cannot be made outside the endoscope.The user was advised to advance the device through the endoscope to make a determination of cutting wire orientation.Prior to distribution, all tri-tome pc triple lumen 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: 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.
