Manufacturer Narrative

This report is being supplemented to provide additional information based on the approved final investigation.A review of the device history record found no deviations that could have caused or contributed to the reported issue.The device was manufactured in july 2021.However, the specific date is unknown.Based on the results of the investigation, the definitive root cause of the detachment issue could not be determined.It is possible that a tensile force beyond the resistance strength was applied to the area where the wire was secured in place, which caused the wire to detach from the operating portion.It is also possible that the clip was pressed against an object, which increased the slider's sliding resistance.The instruction manual identifies the following verbiage, which may have prevented the phenomenon: ¿should the slightest irregularity and/or breakage of the parts be suspected, withdraw the instrument from the endoscope immediately according to the steps of ¿withdrawing the instrument from the endoscope¿ on page 10.Otherwise, perforation, bleeding, or mucous membrane damage may result.¿ olympus will continue to monitor field performance for this device.
