Manufacturer Narrative

Concomitant medical product: olympus visiglide 0.025 wire guide.Investigation evaluation: an evaluation of the returned device could not confirm the report of incorrect orientation.The device could not be tested functionally due to the broken cutting wire.The sphincterotome catheter was subjected to a close visual examination and twisting of the tubing was not observed at the distal end.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 contains a nonconformance that could potentially be related to the reported observation.The device goes through different inspections prior to leaving the facility.These inspections would have removed any nonconforming devices prior to distribution.Investigation conclusion: responses to additional questions indicated that the distal end of the device was formed manually.The instructions for use advise the user: "do not apply manual pressure to tip or cutting wire of sphincterotome to influence orientation, as this may result in damage to device." this is the most likely cause for the reported observation.Prior to distribution, all tri-tome pc protectors 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.Additional comments regarding this report: based on the information provided that the distal end of the device was formed manually, a cook representative has been directed to contact the medical facility involved in an effort to promote further education and understanding related to appropriate usage of this product.
