This supplemental report is being submitted to provide the device return evaluation, review of the device history records (dhr), the device history records for this device were reviewed and all records indicated that the product was manufactured according to all applicable procedures and met final product release criteria.No abnormalities were found.The cause of the event cannot be conclusively determined.Based on the device evaluation findings, the loss of the apical part of the unit has been confirmed and likely, an external force may have been applied to the apical part.As a result of the external force applied to the distal end part, the tip part could not tolerate the load, broke and was dislodged.The reported phenomenon likely attributed to mishandling of the device.Olympus will continue to monitor complaints for this device.
