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 generator and transducer connectors were damaged and burned, likely due to an electrical short between the pins of the transducer receptacle.This could potentially be attributed to moisture or foreign material.However, the root cause of the reported event is unable to be determined.The event can be prevented by following the instructions for use (ifu) which state: the shockpulse instructions for use addresses this: "do not allow fluids to enter the generator cabinet.Damage can result;" "do not twist or turn the transducer or footswitch plugs when connecting them to the generator; equipment damage may result." if additional information becomes available, this report will be supplemented accordingly.Olympus will continue to monitor field performance for this device.
