Manufacturer Narrative

Reporter occupation: non-healthcare professional.Investigation evaluation: an evaluation of the returned device confirmed the report of incorrect cutting wire orientation.During our laboratory analysis, the sphincterotome was advanced through a duodenoscope that is placed in a simulated biliary position.The duodenoscope has an accessory channel that is 4.2 mm in diameter (model number olympus tjf-160v).The catheter exited the endoscope with the cutting wire facing 3 o¿clock.The device was then bowed and the cutting wire was facing 12 o'clock (appropriate orientation is approximately 11:00 - 1:00 o'clock).The sphincterotome catheter was subjected to a close visual examination and twisting of the tubing was observed at the distal end.A discrepancy or anomaly that could have contributed to the reported event was not observed during our laboratory analysis of the returned product.The device history record for the lot number said to be involved was reviewed.A discrepancy or anomaly was not observed with the product that was released for 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.Prior to distribution, all tri-tome pc triple lumen sphincterotomes are subjected to a visual inspection and functional test to ensure device integrity.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.
