Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Concomitant medical products: erbe electrosurgical generator balloon, unknown make and model.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.A photo was provided and reviewed.An evaluation of the photo provided confirmed the report.The photo shows wire guide coating damage.Wire guide coating has peeled and folded over exposing bare core wire.The exact location of the damage could not be determine without return of the complaint device.The subassembly device history record for the wire guide does contain a nonconformance 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.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.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.Prior to distribution, all fusion® pre-loaded with acrobat wire guide sphincterotomes 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: 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.
