Correction: h6 - device manufacturer date device evaluation: the suspect medical device and the associated foot switch were returned to the manufacturer for investigation.The investigation confirmed that there is no malfunction of the devices.The celonprosleep plus electrode was not returned for evaluation/investigation.Therefore, the evaluation/investigation was performed exclusively on the basis of the information provided by the customer.Since the respective celonlab is in standard and no malfunction of the probes is reported, the electrodes are evaluated to be in standard.Therefore, this event/incident was attributed to use error.Furthermore, a material or quality problem can be excluded since a manufacturing and quality control review was performed for the affected serial number of the generator and the effected lot number of the electrodes without showing any abnormalities.The case will be closed from olympus side with no further actions but the reported event/incident will be recorded for trending and surveillance purposes.Furthermore, the user will be informed about the investigation results.
