Event or Problem Description
On 06 nov 2019 fujifilm corporation was informed that a small perforation was discovered in a patient after routine colonoscopy on a patient with crohn's disease.Patient 1: the physician indicated that the colon was torturous and full of stool and there was difficulty getting into the ileocecal valve; he succeeded and withdrew the scope.Shortly after procedure the patient started to exhibit some pain and it was determined with x-ray that he had a small perforation near the cecum.Due to the patient having crohn's disease and it being a complication, the scope was not considered to be a cause at that time.The patient had surgery to correct the perforation.Patient 2: the following week a colonoscopy procedure was performed with some difficulty on patient 2, the physician was able to complete the procedure.The physician stated that at one point of the procedure where he was running the tip of the scope close to the mucosa, he noticed, what was described as a "red line or scratch" on the mucosa.The physician asked the technician if the scope was the same scope that was used the week prior with the perforation case (patient 1); it was determined that it was.The procedure on patient 2 was completed with no other issue and after withdrawal the technician rubbed a finger along the tip and thought she felt something "sharp".Later, after reprocessing, the scope was compared with another scope the customer had and believed that the scopes were the same but called a fujifilm field service engineer (fse) to confirm.The following day a fujifilm fse examined the scope to see if there were any defects.After close inspection and comparison with the other demo scope available at the site, the fse did not see any abnormalities.The fse felt the point or lens protector near the lens where the technician stated she felt something sharp.The fse spoke with the physician, who was there at the time and advised him that he did not see any damage on the scope; the physician indicated that he thought that the crohn's disease was more the cause of the perforation for patient 1 than the ridge.The physician and staff were okay with using the subject scope.The subject scope was requested for return to fujifilm medical systems u.S.A., inc (fmsu) for inspection.There was no death associated with either of the cases.This report is being submitted in abundance of caution.
