Manufacturer Narrative

Investigation evaluation: a product evaluation was not performed in response to this report because the product said to be involved was not provided to cook for evaluation.The report could not be confirmed.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: we could not conduct a complete investigation because the product said to be involved was not returned for evaluation.A definitive cause for the reported observation could not be determined.If additional pressure is applied to the wire guide and/or accessory device(s) while moving the wire guide inside the accessory device(s), this could contribute to wire guide coating damage.Another possible contributing factor to wire guide damage is if the wire guide lumen is not flushed prior to wire guide advancement.The instructions for use also states, "flush endoscope accessory channel and/or lumen of device with sterile water, then insert wire guide floppy end first." prior to distribution, all fusion® pre-loaded with acrobat wire guides are subjected to a visual inspection to ensure device integrity.A definitive cause for the reported observation could not be determined.Corrective action: 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 Description
|
During an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ercp) the physician used a cook fusion® pre-loaded with acrobat wire guide.The physician was unable to remove the sphincterotome [omni-tome] out of the scope over the wire.After troubleshooting, the omni-tome could not be removed while leaving the wire in place, so both the acrobat wire and omni-tome had to be removed.A new omni-tome with wire was opened and the physician had to recannulate to successfully complete the procedure.It was observed on the complaint device that the acrobat wire coating was bunched up where it was exiting the omni-tome (the omni-tome had been previously stripped), and the wire was exiting the break through channel right near the metal band.The coating was bunched up preventing the omni-tome from being pulled up and out over the wire.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.
