The subjected device was returned to olympus medical systems corp.(omsc) for evaluation.Omsc evaluated the device and found that the phenomenon was reproduced.Furthermore omsc found that the power-supply unit did not output the lighting voltage for the xenon lamp.Omsc evaluated the power-supply unit and found that the resistance mounted to the circuit board had the marks of heat and the resistance was broken.Omsc replaced this resistance with another one.The power-supply unit outputted the lighting voltage for the xenon lamp appropriately.So omsc surmised that the breakage of this resistance was the cause of this phenomenon.Omsc surmised that the cause of the breakage of the resistance is the following in theory.Any foreign material (e.G.Dust, smother) was attached to a high-voltage generating circuit of the unit that is supplied a voltage from this power-supply unit.An electric charge leaked through any foreign material.The power-supply unit supplied a large voltage unintentionally.As a result, an electrical load in the circuit of the power-supply unit had intensified.The resistance developed fever and the resistance was broken.The (b)(4) instruction manual states the corresponding method when the xenon lamp went out and the cleaning procedure for the device.There were no further details provided.If significant additional information is received, this report will be supplemented.This report is being submitted as a medical device report in an abundance of caution.
