    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 1

    EVAL: WE COULD NOT CONFIRM THE REPORT BECAUSE THE PRODUCT SAID TO BE INVOLVED WAS NOT RETURNED TO COOK ENDOSCOPY FOR EVAL. AFTER A REVIEW OF THE DEVICE HISTORY RECORD FOR THE LOT NUMBER SAID TO BE INVOLVED, WE CAN REPORT NO DISCREPANCIES OR ANOMALIES WERE OBSERVED. WE WERE UNABLE TO CONDUCT A SAMPLE TEST FROM THIS LOT BECAUSE NONE OF THE PRODUCT FROM THIS LOT REMAINED IN FINISHED GOODS INVENTORY. CONCLUSIONS: WE COULD NOT CONDUCT A COMPLETE INVESTIGATION BECAUSE THE PRODUCT SAID TO BE INVOLVED WAS NOT RETURNED FOR EVAL. A DEFINITIVE CAUSE FOR THE REPORTED OBSERVATION COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. IMPROPER CUTTING WIRE ORIENTATION CAN OCCUR IF THE DISTAL END OF THE CATHETER IS SHAPED MANUALLY. THIS SPHINCTEROTOME CATHETER IS PRE-CURVED AND IS PROVIDED WITH A PRE-CURVED STYLET IN THE DISTAL TIP OF THE CATHETER. THIS OBVIATES THE NEED FOR MANUAL FORMATION. THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE CONTAIN THE FOLLOWING COMMENT: "NOTE: DO NOT APPLY MANUAL PRESSURE TO TIP OR CUTTING WIRE OF THE SPHINCTEROTOME TO INFLUENCE ORIENTATION, AS THIS MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO DEVICE." OTHER FACTORS THAT CAN CONTRIBUTE TO IMPROPER CUTTING WIRE ORIENTATION INCLUDE MANIPULATING THE HANDLE WITH THE CATHETER IN A COILED POSITION OR WITH THE PRE-CURVED STYLET INSIDE THE CANNULATING TIP. THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE ADVISE THE USER TO UNCOIL AND STRAIGHTEN THE SPHINCTEROTOME UPON REMOVING THE DEVICE FROM THE PACKAGING. THE USER IS THEN INSTRUCTED TO CAREFULLY REMOVE THE PRE-CURVED STYLET FROM THE CANNULATING TIP. THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE CONTAIN THE FOLLOWING COMMENT: "NOTE: DO NOT EXERCISE HANDLE WHILE DEVICE IS COILED OR PRE-COILED STYLET IS IN PLACE, AS THIS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO SPHINCTEROTOME AND RENDER IT INOPERABLE." PRIOR TO DISTRIBUTION, ALL D.A.S.H DOMETIP DOUBLE LUMEN SPHINCTEROTOMES ARE SUBJECTED TO A VISUAL INSPECTION AND FUNCTIONAL TEST TO ENSURE DEVICE INTEGRITY. A REVIEW OF THE DEVICE HISTORY RECORD CONFIRMED THAT THE LOT SAID TO BE INVOLVED MET ALL MFG REQUIREMENTS PRIOR TO SHIPMENT. CORRECTIVE ACTION: NO CORRECTIVE ACTION WARRANTED AT THIS TIME BECAUSE THIS REPORT COULD NOT BE VERIFIED. THE APPROPRIATE PERSONNEL HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED OF THIS OCCURRENCE IN AN EFFORT TO HEIGHTEN AWARENESS. CUSTOMER QUALITY ASSURANCE WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR FOR COMPLAINT TRENDS.

    Description of Event or Problem · 1

    DURING AN ENDOSCOPIC RETROGRADE CHOLANGIOPANCREATOGRAPHY (ERCP), THE PHYSICIAN USED A COOK ENDOSCOPY D.A.S.H. DOMETIP DOUBLE LUMEN SPHINCTEROTOME. THE ORIENTATION OF THE CUTTING WIRE WAS REPORTED TO BE AROUND 2 O'CLOCK AFTER THE SPHINCTEROTOME WAS BOWED. THE PROCEDURE WAS COMPLETED USING ANOTHER D.A.S.H. DOMETIP DOUBLE LUMEN SPHINCTEROTOME. A SECTION OF THE DEVICE DID NOT REMAIN INSIDE THE PT'S BODY. THE PT DID NOT REQUIRE ANY ADDITIONAL PROCEDURES DUE TO THIS OCCURRENCE. ACCORDING TO THE INITIAL REPORTER, THE PT DID NOT EXPERIENCE ANY ADVERSE EFFECTS DUE TO THIS OCCURRENCE.
