Manufacturer Narrative

This report is being supplemented to provide additional information based on the legal manufacturer's final investigation.The device was returned to olympus for an evaluation.During the evaluation, the needle could extend from the outer tube.It was not possible to inject liquid when the slider was pushed.However, it was possible to inject liquid when the slider was pulled.The outer tube was not buckled.The needle tube presented compressive buckling.A review of the device history record found no deviations that could have caused or contributed to the reported issue.It has been 2 years since the device was manufactured.Based on the results of the investigation, it is likely that the reported phenomenon occurred due to the mechanism causing friction resistance between outer tube and needle tube therefore leading to the following: - the tube was coiled during the inspection for operation - the slider was pushed abruptly.The instructions for use (ifu) instruction manual state: - ifu states as follows: ¿·straighten out the instrument before inspecting it.The instrument can be damaged if it is coiled while the handle is operated.·operate the slider slowly, otherwise the tube could buckle.·do not coil the insertion portion with a diameter of less than 15 cm.This could damage the insertion portion.·when inserting the instrument into the endoscope, retract the needle into the sheath, hold the instrument close to the biopsy valve, and keep it as straight as possible relative to the biopsy valve.Otherwise, the instrument could be damaged.·insert the instrument slowly.Abrupt insertion could damage the endoscope and/or instrument.·stop using the instrument if the insertion portion bends excessively during use.This could result in malfunction, such as failing to extend the needle or inject a fluid.¿ olympus will continue to monitor the field performance of this device.
