    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. 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. 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.

    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 (ONE CATHETER WAS RETURNED), THEREFORE A COMPLETE EVALUATION WAS NOT POSSIBLE. THE DEVICE WAS RETURNED WITH THE ON/OFF SWITCH IN THE "ON" POSITION. THE RED ACTIVATION KNOB WAS ENGAGED IN THE HANDLE INDICATING ACTIVATION OF THE CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2) CARTRIDGE. THE EXTERIOR OF THE DEVICE PRESENTED WITH POWDER ON IT. THE DEVICE WAS TESTED AS RETURNED AND DID NOT SPRAY. THE CO2 CARTRIDGE 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 USING THE CATHETER PROVIDED IN RETURN. 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 ONLY ONE CATHETER WAS 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.
