A review of the device history record found no deviations that could have caused or contributed to the reported issue.The following fields were updated: h4, h6 coding, h10.The following fields were corrected based on the information available at the time of the initial submissions: b3, and h6 component code.Additionally, a correction to g3 of the initial medwatch is being made.The aware date should be (b)(6) 2023.Based on the results of the investigation, it is likely that the root cause was user induced, in that the unit was repeatedly moved while connected to the wall supply which caused the mains lead to be pulled from the rear of the transformer causing both the minor arc damage and a disconnection of the mains supply from the transformer input.The event can be detected and prevented by handling the device in accordance with the instructions for use which warn against moving the workstation while connected and an indication to perform regular maintenance to identify any connector damage and replacement of the mains inlet lead if required.Olympus will continue to monitor field performance for this device.
