    COMMON DEVICE NAME: HEMOSTATIC DEVICE FOR ENDOSCOPIC GASTROINTESTINAL USE PRODUCT CODE: QAU. 510K: K200972. 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. A REVIEW OF THE DEVICE HISTORY RECORD COULD NOT BE CONDUCTED BECAUSE THE LOT NUMBER WAS NOT PROVIDED. 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. PRIOR TO DISTRIBUTION, ALL HEMOSPRAY ENDOSCOPIC HEMOSTATS ARE SUBJECTED TO A VISUAL INSPECTION TO ENSURE DEVICE INTEGRITY. 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.

    CONTINUED: SECTION D: COMMON DEVICE NAME: HEMOSTATIC DEVICE FOR ENDOSCOPIC GASTROINTESTINAL USE PRODUCT CODE: QAU. SECTION G: 510K: K200972. INVESTIGATION EVALUATION: THE PRODUCT SAID TO BE INVOLVED WAS RETURNED IN AN OPEN TRAY FROM THE LOT NUMBER PROVIDED IN THE REPORT. THE LABEL MATCHES THE PRODUCT RETURNED. OUR LABORATORY EVALUATION OF THE PRODUCT SAID TO BE INVOLVED COULD NOT CONFIRM THE REPORT. ALL COMPONENTS WERE NOT INCLUDED IN THE RETURN (NO CATHETERS WERE RETURNED), THEREFORE A COMPLETE EVALUATION WAS NOT POSSIBLE. THE DEVICE WAS RETURNED WITH THE ON/OFF SWITCH IN THE "OFF" POSITION. THE RED ACTIVATION KNOB WAS ENGAGED AND THE HANDLE HAD POWDER ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE DEVICE. NO POWDER/CLOG WAS NOTED IN THE TIP OF THE SPRAY NOZZLE. THE DEVICE WAS VISUALLY EXAMINED AND NO DAMAGE OR ISSUES WITH THE DEVICE WERE DETECTED. WHEN TESTED AS RETURNED, THE DEVICE SPRAYED AS INTENDED. THE CO2 [CARBON DIOXIDE] CARTRIDGE DID DISCHARGE WHEN DEACTIVATED AND WAS FULLY PUNCTURED. THE LANCE POSITION WAS MEASURED AND FOUND TO BE POSITIONED CORRECTLY. A VISUAL EXAMINATION OF THE O-RING AND LANCE INSIDE THE HANDLE SHOWED BOTH COMPONENTS TO BE POSITIONED CORRECTLY INSIDE THE HANDLE AND THE LANCE TO BE BEVELED. WHEN TESTED WITH A NEW CO2 CARTRIDGE AND ACTIVATION KNOB, THE DEVICE SPRAYED AS INTENDED. NO ISSUES WERE DETECTED DURING ACTIVATION OF THE DEVICE. A PRODUCT DISCREPANCY OR ANOMALY THAT COULD HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THIS REPORTED OCCURRENCE WAS NOT OBSERVED. 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: THE ROOT CAUSE FOR THE REPORT OF UNABLE TO SPRAY IS UNKNOWN. A DISCREPANCY OR ANOMALY THAT COULD HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE REPORTED OBSERVATION WAS NOT OBSERVED DURING OUR LABORATORY ANALYSIS OF THE RETURNED PRODUCT. CATHETER OCCLUSION CAN BE A CAUSE OF THIS DEVICE NOT BEING ABLE TO SPRAY POWDER. HOWEVER, WE COULD NOT CONDUCT A COMPLETE INVESTIGATION BECAUSE NO CATHETERS WERE RETURNED FOR EVALUATION. THIS LIMITS OUR ABILITY TO CONCLUSIVELY DETERMINE A CAUSE. PRIOR TO DISTRIBUTION, ALL HEMOSPRAY ENDOSCOPIC HEMOSTATS ARE SUBJECTED TO A VISUAL INSPECTION 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: 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.
