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 3 years since the subject device was manufactured.Based on the results of the investigation and the inspection of the subject device during evaluation by olympus, it could not be determined if it was difficult to remove the scope due to the stenosis or due to the detachment of the tip from the curved tube.However, it is likely that peeling from the curved pipe at the tip may have occurred due to the same cause as other breakage.However, it could not be determined if the peeling was due to stress, handling, or other factors.This supplemental report includes a correction made to d9 from the initial medwatch.Also, additional information added to h4.Olympus will continue to monitor field performance for this device.
