Correction: model number and udi 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.Based on the results of the investigation, the root cause of the event was unable to be identified.The lack of gauge response during functional testing of the complaint device indicates a clogged or corroded gauge filter.The gauge filter of the device was severely corroded with a crystallized substance.The crystalized deposits are left behind by a liquid that was introduced into the device and allowed to evaporate.These deposits obstruct the gauge from functioning properly.This indicates the device was misused, or used multiple times.Olympus will continue to monitor field performance for this device.
