Complaint device was not returned therefore a document based review will be performed.Prior to distribution, all echo-hd-22-ebus-o devices are subjected to functional checks and visual inspection to ensure device integrity.These inspections and functional checks are outlined in internal procedures in place at cirl.As the lot number is unknown the device history records could not be reviewed as part of the investigation.The notes section of the instructions for use, which accompanies informs the user about the potential complications as follows; "perforation, hemorrhage, aspiration, fever, infection, allergic reaction to medication, hypotension, damage to blood vessels, nerve damage, pain, pneumoperitoneum, tumour seeding, respiratory depression or arrest, cardiac arrhytmia or arrest, and death".There is no evidence to suggest that the customer did not follow the instructions for use.A definitive root cause could not be determined from the available information.A possible root cause is difficult to determine but could be attributed to unintended puncture as bleeding that leads to suction and injection of epinephrine is not common.The issue could also possibly have occurred while using the olympus needle or could have been due to the suctioning procedure.The best assessment is that as there was an unintended puncture.Complaint is confirmed based on the customer's testimony.According to the initial reporter, the patient did not experience any adverse effects due to this occurrence.Complaints of this nature will continue to be monitored for potential emerging trends.
