This report is being supplemented as the legal manufacturer re-evaluated the subject device and provided an additional investigation.The device was re-evaluated by olympus, and the reportable malfunction was not confirmed.Based on the results of the investigation, although the e315 error code was unable to be duplicated, it was confirmed that there was evidence of water invasion inside of the scope connector.It is likely that the cv-1500 side detected an abnormalities and reported the e315 error due to moisture adhering to the printed circuit board built into the scope connector due to flooding, which caused a temporary continuity failure.In addition, deposits that appeared to be white chemical residue were found on the check valve of the venting connector, so it is likely that water may have entered the product through the venting connector.Although it is difficult to pinpoint the cause since there is no information regarding user handling, attaching the eog cap or water leak test.Water droplets attached to the surface of the venting connector may have caused moisture to enter the scope connector.A definitive root cause could not be established.The event can be detected/prevented by following the instructions for use which state: it was confirmed that the operation manual for gif/cf/pcf-290 series ¿chapter 3 preparation and inspection 3.8 inspection of the endoscopic system¿ describes how to inspect for the suggested event1.Olympus will continue to monitor field performance for this device.
