Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Concomitant medical products: erbe vio 300, electrosurgical generator.Investigation evaluation: our evaluation of the product said to be involved determined the cutting wire securing component located near the distal end of the sphincterotome has disconnected from the catheter.The cutting wire is intact and remains securely attached to the sphincterotome at the proximal end.However, due to the catheter and securing component disconnection, the distal end of the cutting wire is no longer connected to the sphincterotome catheter at the distal end.The securing component measuring 5 mm is intact therefore no part of the device is missing.A product discrepancy or anomaly that could have contributed to this reported occurrence was not observed.The device history record for the lot number contains a nonconformance that could potentially be related to anchor separation.The device goes through different inspections prior to leaving the facility.These inspections would have removed any nonconforming devices prior to distribution.Investigation conclusion: a definitive cause for this observation could not be determined because the actual use conditions could not be duplicated in the laboratory setting.Due to a variety of clinical conditions such as patient anatomy, endoscope position or progression of disease state, we could not reproduce the actual conditions of product usage during our laboratory analysis.This limits our ability to conclusively determine a cause.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 pre-loaded 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: a review of the complaint history was conducted.The likelihood of occurrence is considered rare.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 procedure, the physician used a cook fusion omni-tome pre-loaded sphincterotome.While bowing the sphincterotome, the physician and cook district manager heard a snap and the cutting wire broke on the patient end of the device.It appeared as though the distal metal tip pulled out of the plastic of the tome completely [cutting wire securing component separated from catheter].The procedure was completed with another cook sphincterotome.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.
