Manufacturer Narrative

This report is being supplemented to provide additional information based on the legal manufacturer's 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 3 years since the subject device was manufactured.Based on the results of the legal manufacturer's investigation, the root cause of the forceps cover glue peeling could not be identified.However, it is possible the cause was related to external force that was applied to the tip.The instructions for use identify the following verbiage, that may prevent the phenomenon: do not apply shock to the distal end of the insertion section, particularly the ultrasound transducer and the objective lens, surface at the distal end.Visual abnormalities may result.Olympus will continue to monitor field performance for this device.
