InjurySep 25, 2026Adverse Event Without Identified Device or Use Problem
Customer reported the combined transoral incisionless fundoplication TIF with concomitant hernia repair (cTIF) procedure was performed on 11AUG26 and discharged without sequelae. Patient reportedly returned ~3 days later (14AUG26) to the ER with melena where GI noted that one fastener site seemed to have been bleeding, but bleeding was seen to have stopped. Adult upper endoscope that was used at that time didn't retroflex fully so GI couldn't treat area with clips or any other means to ensure hemostasis. Patient was discharged. Patient presented again to the emergency room on (B)(6) 2026 with a hemoglobin of 6.2 and patient was given transfusion of blood and admitted. On (B)(6) 2026, the bleeding was noted to be stopped upon esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) and the patient was discharged without additional intervention. The hemoglobin has returned to normal, and the patient is doing great.
