Investigation evaluation: an evaluation of the returned device confirmed the report of incorrect cutting wire orientation.During our laboratory analysis, the sphincterotome was advanced through a duodenoscope that was placed in a simulated biliary position.The duodenoscope has an accessory channel that is 4.2 mm in diameter (olympus model number tjf-160v).The catheter exited the endoscope with the cutting wire facing 3 o¿clock.The device was then bowed and the cutting wire was facing 3 o'clock (appropriate orientation is approximately 11:00 - 1:00 o'clock).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 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.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 or Problem Description
|
|
During an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ercp), the physician used a cook tri-tome pc triple lumen sphincterotome.The device came out of the endoscope completely backwards [incorrect cutting wire orientation].The procedure was completed with another of the same device.The following additional information was received 25-jun-2019: the product was inserted through an olympus tjf-180 endoscope.The product was never connected to cautery and only made minor contact with the patient since orientation of the device was inadequate to cannulate sphincter of oddi.The physician or staff did not manually pre-form the tip of the device prior to use.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.
