Type of Reportable Event Malfunction
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The root cause of the reported event has not yet been determined; device evaluation is currently in-process.
 
Event or Problem Description
It was reported that at the end of an aquablation procedure, upon taking the aquabeam handpiece out of the patient, the aspiration and irrigation tubes partially detached from the manifold.The physician was able to fully pull the aquabeam handpiece out of the patient as is without additional intervention.No patient injury was reported.
 
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The aquabeam handpiece was returned for investigation to procept biorobotics corporation.Visual inspection of the aquabeam handpiece showed a gap between the proximal end of the aspiration tube and the manifold, indicating that the tubes had separated.The proximal end of the irrigation tube was inspected and found to also be separated from the manifold.The tubes were removed and separated from the manifold for inspection under magnification.Adhesive was observed in one location in between the aspiration and irrigation tubes.The tubes were re-inserted into the manifold and confirmed to have penetrated the manifold to the depth of the adhesive left on the tubes, indicating proper insertion of tubes into the manifold during the manufacturing process.A filled of adhesive was also observed around the full circumference of the manifold holes, excluding the section in between the tubes that remained attached to the tubes.A review of the log files showed no malfunctions possibly related to the event.The z current was observed to be within normal range, meaning that there was no evidence of the probe hitting the distal end of the aspiration tube at the aquabeam handpiece to motorpack connection step or during the procedure that could have applied stress to the manifold bond and led to tubes to separate from the manifold.A review of the device history record was conducted, which confirmed that there were three (3) reworks associated with the aquabeam handpiece.The reworks are possibly related to the reported event due to the repeated handling of the manifold subassembly; however, the device passed final inspection prior to release for distribution.A review for similar complaints confirmed that there are no other similar events.The aquabeam robotic system's instructions for use, part number ifu101-00, revision c, under step 8.29 states the following: "fully advance the aquabeam scope and remove the aquabeam handpiece".The device was found to have been built within manufacturer's specifications due to the observed adhesive around the entire circumference of the id of the manifold and the depth of insertion of the aspiration and irrigation tubes into the manifold.Due to the adhesive remaining almost entirely within the manifold and only a small amount observed on the aspiration and irrigation tubes, and the cracks indicating possible stress on the bond occurring at an unknown time, the results of the investigation are inconclusive.The root cause of the reported event is undetermined.This is the first occurrence for this event; therefore, no further action is recommended at this time.Submission of this report does not constitute an admission that the manufacturer's product caused or contributed to the event.
