MAUDE data represents reports of adverse events involving medical devices. This maude entry was filed from a company representative,user f report with the FDA on 2018-02-08 for HF-RESECTION ELECTRODE, LOOP, 26 FR A22202C manufactured by Olympus Winter & Ibe Gmbh.
[99940698]
The customer returned five of six electrodes to olympus for evaluation. A visual inspection on the first electrode (a22202c, lot# p1710002) found that a portion of the loop wire was broken in the middle. A microscope inspection was performed at the breakage points and observed the tip of the loop wires to be melted (into a ball). In addition, both red colored insulation posts were heavily charred at the distal tip where the loop wire is attached. The cause of the reported event could not be conclusively determined as the user facility did not return the concomitant devices for testing. However, based on similar reported events the most probable cause of the reported event could be attributed to the electrode coming into contact (unintended) with other metal parts, e. G. Surgical instruments while the high-frequency output was activated and higher output settings on the electrosurgical generator.
