    PMA/510(K) #: K161203. INVESTIGATION EVALUATION: OUR EVALUATION OF THE PRODUCT SAID TO BE INVOLVED CONFIRMED THE REPORT. A VISUAL EXAMINATION OF THE RETURNED DEVICE SHOWS THE SOLDER JOINT ADHERING THE METAL TIP TO THE IRROTATIONAL CABLE REMAINS INTACT. HOWEVER, THE METAL TIP HAS BROKEN: ONE PIECE REMAINS SOLDERED TO THE TIP OF THE DEVICE, ONE PIECE WAS RETURNED SEPARATED. DUE TO THE CONDITION OF THE RETURNED DEVICE IT CANNOT BE DETERMINED IF A PORTION OF THE DEVICE IS MISSING. A PRODUCT-SPECIFIC DISCREPANCY THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED OR CONTRIBUTED TO THIS OBSERVATION WAS NOT OBSERVED DURING OUR LABORATORY ANALYSIS. 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: A DEFINITIVE CAUSE FOR THIS OBSERVATION COULD NOT BE DETERMINED BECAUSE THE ACTUAL USE CONDITIONS COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED IN THE LABORATORY SETTING. DUE TO A VARIETY OF CLINICAL CONDITIONS SUCH AS PATIENT ANATOMY, ENDOSCOPE POSITION OR PROGRESSION OF DISEASE STATE, WE COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE ACTUAL CONDITIONS OF PRODUCT USAGE DURING OUR LABORATORY ANALYSIS. THIS LIMITS OUR ABILITY TO CONCLUSIVELY DETERMINE A CAUSE. THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE INDICATES THE FOLLOWING: "ONCE STENT IS SECURELY CONNECTED TO RETRIEVER, OPEN ELEVATOR OF ENDOSCOPE AND SLOWLY PULL STENT AND STENT RECEIVER OUT OF CHANNEL MAKING SURE WIRE GUIDE IS LEFT IN PLACE." PULLING TOO QUICKLY ON THE STENT WITH THE STENT RECEIVER MAY DAMAGE THE STENT RECEIVER. PRIOR TO DISTRIBUTION, ALL SOEHENDRA STENT RETRIEVERS ARE SUBJECTED TO A VISUAL INSPECTION AND FUNCTIONAL TESTING 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 REVIEW OF THE COMPLAINT HISTORY WAS CONDUCTED AND THIS REPRESENTS AN UNUSUAL OCCURRENCE. THE LIKELIHOOD OF OCCURRENCE IS CONSIDERED RARE. 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.

    Description of Event or Problem · 1

    DURING AN ENDOSCOPIC PROCEDURE, THE PHYSICIAN USED A COOK SOEHENDRA STENT RETRIEVER. STENT REPLACEMENT WAS BEING PERFORMED. TO RETRIEVE THE PLACED PLASTIC STENT, THE USER ADVANCED THE SOEHENDRA STENT RETRIEVER OVER THE WIRE GUIDE THROUGH THE DUODENOSCOPE. THEN, THE TIP OF THE DEVICE WAS SCREWED INTO THE PLACED STENT LUMEN. HOWEVER, THE TIP OF THE STENT RETRIEVER BROKE OFF. THE DEVICE BODY AND THE WIRE GUIDE WERE REMOVED FROM THE PATIENT'S BODY WITH THE SEPARATED TIP REMAINING INSIDE DUODENUM. ANOTHER SOEHENDRA STENT RETRIEVER WAS USED TO RETRIEVE THE STENT, AND ANOTHER STENT WAS PLACED. AFTER THIS, THE USER RETRIEVED THE SEPARATED TIP FROM DUODENUM TO COMPLETE THE PROCEDURE. THERE HAVE BEEN NO ADVERSE EFFECTS TO THE PATIENT REPORTED.
