Manufacturer Narrative

This supplemental report is to provide the initial device evaluation results for the reference scope.A visual inspection was performed and found the scope is broken / cut in half at the middle section of the insertion tube.The internal elements were exposed and the metal coil sheath inside the insertion tube is severely stretched and broken apart.Additionally, the metal coil sheath has a sharp surface at the broken site.The condition of the insertion tube confirms the initial report that the scope was cut in half by the physician.The bending section portion at the distal area of the scope has a severe bend/kink and the bending section cover is stretched.A review of the scope¿s instrument history records indicates the scope was purchased on december 17, 2014 and was last repaired on november 7, 2017.Olympus will continue to investigate.The scope will be sent to the oem for further investigation.If additional information becomes available, this report will be supplemented accordingly.

Manufacturer Narrative

This supplemental report is being submitted to provide results of device evaluation by the oem and result of the oem's record review.The device history record (dhr) was reviewed and no anomalies during the manufacturing process were noted.The device evaluation identified a kinked passive bending section, deformed skeleton rings and kinked a-coil ("d" side).The damage to the insertion section and the looped insertion section was deemed likely due to scope handling other than during the procedure.The scope's instructions for use (ifu) manual provides statements directing the user to inspect the scope prior to use: inspect the external surface of the entire insertion tube for dents, bulges, swelling, peeling or other irregularities.Holding the insertion tube gently with one hand, carefully run your fingertips over the entire length of the insertion tube in both directions.Inspect for any protruding objects or other irregularities.Also confirm that the insertion tube is not abnormally rigid.Inspection of the bending mechanism: if the movement of the up/down angulation lock and the angulation control lever are not smooth, the bending mechanism may be abnormal.In this case, do not use the endoscope because it may be impossible to straighten the bending section during an examination.
