| Issue: | The manufacturer is recalling specific lots of Instinct® Plus Endoscopic Clipping Device following reports of malfunction that occurs when the user attempts to open the clip jaws by actuating the handle. The clip housing may detach from the catheter attachment and the clip remaining attached to the drive wire. Please see Figure 1 for a visual representation of the malfunction. The clip will extend from the catheter, but it will remain attached to the internal drive wire instead of opening the clip jaws. The clip cannot be opened if this occurs. The affected devices were manufactured prior to implementation of updated manufacturing processes, which are intended to reduce occurrences of a device malfunction. |
