    THE INFORMATION IN THIS REPORT WAS PROVIDED TO US BY THE COOK FACILITY IN (B)(6) ON BEHALF OF A MEDICAL FACILITY IN (B)(6). EVALUATION: WE COULD NOT CONFIRM THE REPORT BECAUSE THE PRODUCT SAID TO BE INVOLVED WAS NOT RETURNED TO COOK ENDOSCOPY FOR EVALUATION. 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. A SAMPLE TEST FROM THIS LOT COULD NOT BE CONDUCTED BECAUSE NONE OF THE PRODUCT FROM THIS LOT REMAINED IN INVENTORY. CONCLUSIONS: WE COULD NOT CONDUCT A COMPLETE INVESTIGATION BECAUSE THE PRODUCT SAID TO BE INVOLVED WAS NOT RETURNED FOR EVALUATION. 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-CURVED STYLET IS IN PLACE, AS THIS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO SPHINCTEROTOME AND RENDER IT INOPERABLE." PRIOR TO DISTRIBUTION, ALL FUSION OMNI-TOME 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 MANUFACTURING REQUIREMENTS PRIOR TO SHIPMENT. CORRECTIVE ACTION: A CORRECTIVE ACTION HAS BEEN IMPLEMENTED IN AN EFFORT TO REDUCE OCCURRENCES OF THIS NATURE. THIS PRODUCT WAS MANUFACTURED PRIOR TO IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS CORRECTIVE ACTION. CUSTOMER QUALITY ASSURANCE WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR FOR COMPLAINT TRENDS.
