Additional Manufacturer Narrative

This report is being supplemented to provide additional information based on the legal manufacturer's final investigation.A review of the device history record found no deviations that could have caused or contributed to the reported issue.Based on the results of the investigation, the leakage at the distal end was caused by damaged adhesive due to a shock caused by dropping and knocking the endoscope to a hard surface or object (handling issue).The instructions for use include the following statement to prevent this event: "important information ¿ please read before use: do not apply shock to the distal end of the insertion section, particularly the ultrasound transducer and the objective lens surface at the distal end.Visual abnormalities may result.".
