Manufacturer Narrative

This report is being supplemented to provide additional information based on the legal manufacturer's final investigation.The initial reporters name was inadvertently left out of initial reporter in the initial report.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.The reported event (lock lever unable to disengage) was unable to be reproduced.However, based on the results of the investigation it¿s likely the lock lever was unable to disengage because there was leakage in the control section.As a result, the inside of the control section was corroded and failed.The root cause of the lock lever failure and leakage in the control section were unable to be identified.In addition to the lock lever failure, it was noted that were: scratches on the light guide lens, chipping on the bending section cover, folds on the image guide insertion tube, damage to the control section, insufficient angulation, and switch buttons 1-4 did not work.These defects are not considered severe enough to cause a potential adverse event.Olympus will continue to monitor field performance for this device.
