    Description of Event or Problem · 1

    NOTE: THIS REPORT PERTAINS TO ONE OF EIGHT COMPLAINTS THAT OCCURRED DURING THREE SEPARATE PROCEDURES. IT COULD NOT BE DETERMINED HOW MANY DEVICES WERE USED DURING EACH PROCEDURE. REFER TO MANUFACTURER REPORT #'S 3005099803-2011-02755, 3005099803-2011-02745, 3005099803-2011-02746, 3005099803-2011-02747, 3005099803-2011-02748, 3005099803-2011-02749, 3005099803-2011-02750, 3005099803-2011-02751. IT WAS REPORTED TO BOSTON SCIENTIFIC CORPORATION THAT EIGHT RESOLUTION HEMOSTASIS CLIPPING DEVICES WERE USED IN THREE SEPARATE PROCEDURES. ACCORDING TO THE COMPLAINANT, "THE CUSTOMER MET TWO PROBLEMS WITH SEVERAL CLIPS DURING DIFFERENT PROCEDURES SINCE (B)(6) 2011: DIFFICULTY RELEASING THE CLIP AND TO CLOSE SOME CLIPS." CLINICAL FOLLOW UP REVEALED THAT A TOTAL OF EIGHT RESOLUTION CLIPS WERE USED DURING THREE SEPARATE PROCEDURES; HOWEVER, IT COULD NOT BE DETERMINED HOW MANY CLIPS WERE USED DURING EACH PROCEDURE. ONE OF THE EIGHT RESOLUTION CLIPS (MANUFACTURER REPORT # 3005099803-2011-02755) FAILED TO RELEASE FROM THE DELIVERY SYSTEM AND RESULTED IN ADDITIONAL BLEEDING. THE PHYSICIAN WAS ABLE TO STOP THE BLEED WITH THE USE OF AN ADDITIONAL CLIP. THE SEVEN REMAINING COMPLAINT RECORDS HAVE ALL BEEN DEEMED MDR REPORTABLE EVENTS AS IT IS UNKNOWN IF THE FAILURE WAS "DIFFICULT TO RELEASE" OR "WON'T OPEN/CLOSE" FOR EACH EVENT. ALTHOUGH CLINICAL FOLLOW UP WAS RECEIVED FOR THESE COMPLAINTS; SEVERAL ATTEMPTS HAVE BEEN MADE TO OBTAIN FURTHER CLARIFICATION ON THIS EVENT AND THE DETAILS SURROUNDING THIS EVENT. SHOULD ADDITIONAL RELEVANT INFORMATION BECOME AVAILABLE, A SUPPLEMENTAL REPORT WILL BE SUBMITTED.
