This report is being supplemented to provide additional information based on the legal manufacturer's final investigation.The g2 field was corrected based on information available at the initial report submission.Also, all non-reportable device evaluation findings have been included in this 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 10 years since the subject device was manufactured.Based on the results of the investigation, it is likely that the insertion section was damaged by physical stress applied during device handling by the user, therefore water tightness was lost.However, a definitive root cause could not be determined.The suggested event is detectable and preventable by handling the scope in accordance with the following sections of the instructions for use: oes cystonephrofiberscope cyf-5/cyf-5a chapter 3 preparation and inspection 3.2 preparation and inspection of the endoscope_ inspection of the bending mechanism.Oes cystonephrofiberscope cyf-5/cyf-5a chapter 7 cleaning, disinfection and sterilization procedures 7.4 leakage testing 7.4 leakage testing.In addition, the following non-reportable malfunctions were found during the device evaluation: the specified resolving power was not obtained due to deformation of the distal end.The distal end also had discoloration.The bending section cannot be fixed firmly due to damage of the forceps elevator.The eyepiece was dirty.Lastly, the control unit had corrosion due to the water leakage.Olympus will continue to monitor field performance for this device.
