The device was returned to an olympus service center for evaluation.Upon inspection and testing of the returned device, the reported issue (failure of device auto shutdown function) was confirmed and found to be caused by cr board (printed circuit board) failure.When the device did not connect to the gas bottle, the gas supply was continued by pressing the gas supply button.The total gas flow continued to increase, and the lack of gas in the pipeline could not be detected and the gas supply could not be automatically stopped.The internal wiring was checked, and no looseness was found.The issue was resolved after replacing the cr board.According to the service manual, the cr board has pneumoperitoneum control function, a user interface control function, and a peripheral device communication function.A review of the device history record 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 subject device auto shut down function failed due to failure of the printed circuit board.However, a definitive root cause could not be determined.Olympus will continue to monitor field performance for this device.
