Manufacturer Narrative

This report is being supplemented to provide additional information based on the legal manufacturer's final investigation.A review of the device history record found no deviations that could have caused or contributed to the reported issue.It has been over 4 years since the subject device was manufactured.Based on the results of the investigation, the reported issue was not confirmed.Damage to the receptacle is often due to user error.The user likely did not realize all connections are push/pull and instead the plug is twisted upon connection or removal.This action may result in damage to the pins (internal to the socket) and may crack or damage the housing.The event can be detected/prevented by following the instructions for use (ifu) which state: "connect the transducer to the generator by pressing the plug straight in.Caution do not twist or turn the plug." "connect the transducer to the generator by aligning the keyway of the transducer connector with the key way slot on the transducer receptacle on the front panel.Push straight in.Caution do not twist or turn the plug." this supplemental report includes a correction to d4 (udi number).Also, additional information has been added to h4.Olympus will continue to monitor field performance for this device.
