Manufacturer Narrative

This report is being supplemented to provide additional information based on the legal manufacturer's final investigation.Additional details regarding the cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization (cds) of the scope was made available.Olympus confirmed no obvious deviation from the instructions for use from the review of the cds check list sent from the user facility.- aer model name: soluscope set 4 - disinfectant name: soluscope paa - disinfectant type: paa (900 ppm) - was aer water sample hmi tested?: yes, the final rinse water was found to be compliant.- detergent: soluscope cln the additional device defects found during olympus inspection were not considered severe enough to cause a potential adverse event.Based on the results of the investigation, it is unlikely the patient infection/positive culture was caused by the device.Growth of microorganisms was found through culture testing by the user after reprocessing.However, when olympus culture tested after reprocessing in accordance with instructions for use (ifu) before repair, no microorganisms were found.It is possible the user's cds process differed from the ifu, or contamination occurred after microbiological testing.The following is included in the ifu: "reprocessing manual: 1.4 precautions: warning: an insufficiently reprocessed endoscope and/or accessory may pose an infection control risk to the patients and/or operators who touch them." olympus will continue to monitor field performance for this device.
