This supplemental report is being submitted to provide the results of the manufacturer¿s investigation.A review of the device history record (dhr) was conducted during this investigation.The review of the dhr did not find any abnormalities or anomalies identified during production.The device met all specifications upon release.The root cause of the indicators on the front panel blinking, and high intensity mode not working is likely due to wear from prolonged use.Over 6 years have passed since the delivery of this product.It is presumed the output socket and slide switch wore out and failed due to long-term repeated use.It is presumed that the failure of the output socket caused failure in stable connection to the endoscope connector, resulting in occurrence of e300 error (scope err) and blinking of led indicators on the front panel.In addition, it is presumed that the failure of the slide switch affected endoscope connection detection, resulting in failure in switching to the high intensity mode.Olympus will continue to monitor the field performance of this device.
