The subject device was not returned to olympus medical systems corp.(omsc) for evaluation.Therefore, the exact cause of the reported event could not be conclusively determined.The lot number of the subject device is unknown.As a result of checking the manufacturing record for past one year from the event date, it was found no irregularities.Based on the past similar cases, it was known that the side flaps were deteriorated and broken off since they were chemically affected by digestive juices and mechanically affected by peristalsis in the patient.The above device handling has warned in the instruction manual as follows.After placing the drainage tube in the duct, closely monitor the condition of the patient.Also periodically check the condition of the drainage tube (to see if the lumen of the tube is not clogged, and if there are four side flaps in the side of the duodenum, etc.) and the condition of implantation of the tube (to see if the position of the tube has not changed).In case of irregularities or unnecessary retention of the drainage tube, remove the drainage tube using grasping forceps.If necessary, periodically exchange the drainage tube.The drainage tube may deteriorate over time and could become clogged.The status of the drainage tube can change with the condition of the patient (e.G., inflammation, remittence of biliary tract stenosis, etc.).The drainage tube may deteriorate over time, causing the side flap(s) to break or detach completely (reports have been received on side flaps coming off several months after placement).Deterioration or damage to the drainage tube may result in erosion of the duodenal wall, biliary tract obstruction, detachment of the drainage tube part migrating into the duct or out of the papilla, mucous membrane damage, perforation, or bleeding.In the medical literature, occurrences of drainage tube dislocation have been reported in 3.3 ¿ 13.3% of patients.Immediately remove the drainage tube if dislocation is detected.When the drainage tube in the duodenal side is damaged and fragments such as flaps come off inside the duodenum, use grasping forceps for retrieval.Also, for fragments remaining in the bile duct side, use grasping forceps for retrieval and then replace the drainage tube with a new one.When the drainage tube in the bile duct side is damaged and fragments such as flaps come off inside the bile duct, use grasping forceps to retrieve the drainage tube.If necessary, replace it with a new one.To retrieve the flaps etc.That fell off, use grasping forceps or a retrieval basket etc.While checking the x-ray images.
