Fujifilm corporation conducted the root cause investigation that was concluded on (b)(6) 2022.During the investigation, it was identified that high-frequency devices were used with and without visualizing the proximal end of the wire on the endoscope monitor.As a result, the wire came in contact with the distal end metal part of the endoscope, causing a high-frequency current to flow through the distal end metal part.A burn can occur if the energized distal end metal part comes into contact with the mucosa.The relevant warnings are included in the ifu of ed-580xt and it is probable that user did not comply with these warnings.Unlike high-frequency devices, the distal end metal part has a large area, so it does not cut deeply and only superficial mucosal burns may occur.None of the seven (7) burns reported by fujifilm were serious injuries.Therefore, fujifilm believes that it will not lead to a serious injury.
