Event Description
|
It was reported to boston scientific corporation that a resolution 360 clip device from a previous procedure was lodged within the channel of the colonoscope that was used during a procedure performed on an unknown date.During a colonoscopy procedure performed on (b)(6) 2019, a resolution 360 clip misfired and became lodged inside the channel of the scope.This scope was removed from the patient and sent for cleaning and disinfection, and the procedure was completed with another scope and another resolution 360 clip device.Since brushes were run through the colonoscope during cleaning without resistance, and the clip was not found, it was believed that the clip had already been removed.Additionally, the scope was ran through the evotech and disinfection ran a normal course with no alarms engaged.Thus, the colonoscope was put back in service and was used in 11 patients.It was noted that resolution 360 clips were also used during the procedure on patient 8 without incident.During the procedure on last of the 11 patients, where resolution 360 clips were also used, it was reported that the physician tried to suction up a large polyp without success.Allegedly, upon pushing the polyp out of the channel, the clip that had been lodged in the scope came out with the polyp and was removed.It was confirmed that this clip did not belong to this patient.No patient complications have been reported due to this event.Boston scientific has been unable to obtain additional information regarding the event to date, despite good faith efforts.
