Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
The suspect medical device was not returned to olympus for evaluation/investigation.Therefore, the exact cause of the patient¿s outcome and the reported phenomenon could not be conclusively determined and is being judged as unknown.However, the jaws insert and all other concomitant olympus devices were reportedly examined at the user facility without showing any defects that may have caused or contributed to the reported event.A dhr review could not be performed since basic data of article identification (lot number) are missing.Instead a manufacturing and quality control review was performed for the last 24 months of production of the jaws insert.There were no non-conformities or deviations regarding the described issue.The case will be closed on olympus side with no further actions.However, the reported event/incident will be recorded for trending and surveillance purposes and the user will be informed about the investigation results.
