This supplemental report is being submitted to provide the device evaluation and the correction for the lot number and manufacture date.The single use preloaded sphincterotome v (model kd-vc631q-07301a), lot number 9yv 06, was received at the service center for the evaluation for ¿ had stripped, and came out of the side of the tome¿.The user¿s complaint was confirmed.A visual inspection was performed on the received condition device and observed that the insertion portion of the sheath was split open and twisted, which caused the wire to be exposed below the handle side.The insertion portion sheath below the handle was noted to be kinked which increased the stress and tension to the wire during manipulation of the slider.The noted observation resulted the wire splitting the insertion sheath and allowed the guide wire to come out while inserting.Based upon evaluation of the returned condition of the device, the cause of the kinked/twisted/split insertion portion sheath is due to the excessive stress and force attributed to mishandling.
