Narrative

Description of Event or Problem

It was reported to Boston Scientific Corporation that a MANTIS Clip device was used in the stomach during a gastroscopy procedure performed on (b)(6) 2026.It was reported that during the procedure, the clip became bent while attempting to close an anastomotic leak measuring approximately 1 cm. The clip was able to grasp and lock onto the target tissue; however, considerable resistance was encountered during deployment and release from the catheter. After multiple attempts, the clip was successfully released. Following deployment, the clip detached from the tissue on its own. The procedure was completed with another MANTIS Clip device.There were no patient complications reported as a result of this event. The patient's condition following the procedure was reported as fully recovered.
