Manufacturer Narrative
|
The subject device was received and evaluated.The reported issue was confirmed.Visual inspection was performed found that the internal lens at the tip of the insertion tube was damaged.Due to this damage, the resolution of a part of the output image was remarkably reduced.It was noted during inspection that only the lens under the cover glass was damaged, the cover glass itself was not damaged.There were no traces indicating that the tip of the insertion tube had received an impact.Service repair noted that likely, the damage/failure observed was a result of the stress in the lens or its surroundings being released by the pressure during sterilization.Investigation however is ongoing.This report will be supplemented accordingly following investigation.
