Manufacturer Narrative

This report is being supplemented to provide additional information based on the legal manufacturer's final investigation and to provide additional information obtained through follow-up (b)(4).The device history record was unable to be reviewed for this device since the serial number was not provided.However, olympus only releases products to market that meet all manufacturing specifications and final product release criteria.Based on the results of the investigation, it is likely that the suggested event occurred since the user mistakenly was aware of the maj-855 for reprocessing as the maj-855 for a procedure.However, the root cause of the suggested event could not be specified.The event can be prevented by following the instructions for use which state: ¿chapter 9 reprocessing¿ describes the following warning."failure to properly clean and high-level disinfect or sterilize endoscopic equipment after each examination can compromise patient safety.To minimize the risk of transmitting diseases from one patient to another, after each examination this instrument must undergo thorough manual cleaning followed by high-level disinfection or sterilization." olympus will continue to monitor field performance for this device.
