This report is being supplemented to provide additional information based on the legal manufacturer's final investigation.The user facility was contacted to determine if they required any additional support from olympus.The contact at the user facility responded that they were fine and that their processes are being changed.A review of the device history record (dhr) found no deviations that could have caused or contributed to the reported issue.Based on the results of the investigation, the probable cause of the reported issues is likely human error and failure to follow the instructions for use (ifu): "after pre cleaning, perform leakage testing on the endoscope to ensure that it is waterproof.".
