Manufacturer Narrative

This supplemental report is being submitted to provide the results of the legal manufacturer's final investigation.Corrected g2 report source as company representative should have been selected.A review of the device history record found no deviations that could have caused or contributed to the reported issue.It has been less than 1 year since the subject device was manufactured.Based on the results of the investigation, it is likely the following led to the malfunction: when the grasping section was closed without grasping tissue, the ultrasound output was activated (this includes after tissue resection).This caused the tissue pad to wear out and it was partially peeled off.The event can be detected and prevented by following the instructions for use: ·do not activate output while the grasping section is closed without contacting tissue or vessel, or ensuring that tissue is transected.Otherwise, a local increase of the temperature due to a friction between the probe tip and the grasping section may result in various forms of damage in the probe tip and/or the tissue pad, such as premature wear, breakage, deformation, and/or falling off inside the body cavity and/or partial separating.·when cutting or vessel sealing is performed, apply light tension on the tissue so that users can confirm that they are transected.Also, stop activation immediately after tissue is transected.Otherwise, the grasping section, the tissue pad, or the probe tip may break and fall, and partial separating of the tissue pad may occur due to a local increase of temperature caused by the friction between tissue pad and the probe tip during activation.Olympus will continue to monitor field performance for this device.
