Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
This is a supplemental report to provide additional information.The subject device was not returned to olympus medical systems corp.(omsc) for evaluation.Therefore, the exact cause of the reported event could not be conclusively determined.The manufacturing record was reviewed and found no irregularities.Based on the past similar cases, it was known that the event occurred since the balloon was not completely shrank when inserted into the endoscope and a load was applied to the balloon.The above device handling has been warned in the instruction manual as follows; confirm that the balloon is completely deflated when inserting the instrument into the endoscope.If the balloon is inflated, the distal end of the instrument may extend from the distal end of the endoscope abruptly.This could cause patient injury, such as punctures, hemorrhages or mucous membrane damage.It may also damage the endoscope and/or instrument.
