A review of the service history indicates the scope was purchased on (b)(6) 1998 and has received two services in the last year.These repairs were not related to any positive patient or scope cultures, and the scope was last repaired on (b)(6) 2019 for a sheath fail.As a part of the investigation, an endoscopic support specialist (ess) went onsite to assess the user facility's reprocessing practices.During the observation, ess observed the customer not removing scope from water following leak testing.Only the connector is removed.No other deviations were noted.The user facility has new staff members reprocessing the scopes.Additionally, a reprocessing in-service was conducted on a jf-140f with the customer.The in-service included all cleaning, disinfection and sterilization information that is contained in the olympus manual.In-service was also provided to one new staff member and scheduled another staff member for in-service on a different day to ensure all new staff members are trained properly.This event has been reported by the importer on mdr# 2951238-2020-00444.
