Concomitant medical products: erbe electrosurgical generator.Cook tracer metro direct wire guide, metii-35-480.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 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: 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.Separation of the cutting wire securing component and the catheter can occur if the tip of the sphincterotome is over flexed.The instructions for use caution the user: "do not over flex or bow tip beyond 90 degrees, as this may damage or cause cutting wire to break." other factors that can contribute to separation of the cutting wire securing component and the catheter include manipulating the handle with the catheter in a coiled position or with the precurved stylet inside the cannulating tip.The instructions for use advise the user: "upon removing device from package, uncoil and straighten sphincterotome.Carefully remove precurved stylet from cannulating tip." the instructions for use contain the following comment: "note: do not exercise handle while device is coiled or precurved stylet is in place, as this may cause damage to sphincterotome and render it inoperable." prior to distribution, all fusion omni-tome sphincterotomes are subjected to a visual inspection and functional test to ensure device integrity.The functional test includes bowing the sphincterotome to ensure the distal end responds to handle manipulation.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.

|
An emdr report was initially sent on (b)(6) 2019 based on the information that indicated the cutting wire securing component separated from the catheter.The device was received for evaluation on (b)(6) 2019.Our evaluation of the returned device determined that the cutting wire securing component did not detach but moved proximally within the catheter.Based on the device evaluation, this incident no longer meets the reporting criteria of an fda mdr report.
