Manufacturer Narrative

The subject device was not returned to olympus for evaluation because the customer discarded the device.The subject device was manufactured in august, 2020, based on the 3-digit lot information that was provided.The exact manufacture date cannot be determined since the subject device was not returned.A review of the device history record for the indicated lot found no deviations that could have caused or contributed to the reported issue.The device met all specifications at the time of shipment.Based on the results of the legal manufacturer's investigation, it is likely the reported issue occurred due to compressive buckling of the needle tube.The compressive buckling was likely caused by an increase in friction resistance between the outer tube and the needle tube when the needle was extended.A likely mechanism causing friction resistance between the outer tube and the needle tube might be the following: the needle was extended or retracted while the tube was coiled, during the inspection for operation.The slider was abruptly pushed.Angle of the distal end of the endoscope.However, a definitive root cause could not be determined.The device's instruction manual provides the following regarding proper handling of the subject device: 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.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.Device was discarded by the customer.
