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 1 year since the subject device was manufactured.Based on the results of the investigation, (per capa no.Omsc-hq-153-19) the cause of the mucosal damage was likely caused by the following user operations: 1.The scope was removed while using the suction function.2.The scope was removed immediately after suction.The event can be detected/prevented by following the instructions for use (ifu) which state: warning: (4.4 tjf scope manual) ¿take caution applying suction when the distal end is in contact with the mucosal surface.The suction can cause the distal end to aspirate the mucosal membrane.Moving or withdrawing the endoscope under this condition may cause patient injury and/or bleeding.This can be more common while degassing in the stomach, suctioning debris, and operating in a narrow lumen (e.G., esophagus, duodenum).To prevent patient injury and bleeding, make sure to: 1.Only apply suction when the endoscope is stationary.2.After releasing the suction valve, check the endoscopic image to confirm that the mucosal membrane is not aspirated before moving the endoscope.Releasing the suction valve might not immediately release the mucosal membrane if it becomes aspirated.¿ this supplemental report includes a correction to d4 and d8 from the initial medwatch.Also, additional information has been added to h4.Olympus will continue to monitor field performance for this device.
