This report is being supplemented based on additional information provided by the legal manufacturer¿s investigation.To date, the legal manufacturer cannot conclusively determine the cause of the user¿s report, as the user facility has not returned the device for evaluation yet and provided insufficient information regarding the report and device.The legal manufacturer is concerned the way the customer is performing the reprocessing of the device, because the customer has requested the reprocessing manual.According to the legal manufacturer, there had been no similar incidents using the equipment at the user facility and believed that there is no problem with the device in question.Insufficient reprocessing of the device cannot be ruled out as a contributory factor to the reported events.Chapter 7 of the reprocessing manual warns users, ¿all channels of the endoscope must be cleaned and high-level disinfected or sterilized during every reprocessing cycle, even if the channels were not used during the previous patient procedure.Otherwise, insufficient cleaning and disinfection or sterilization of the endoscope may pose an infection control risk to the patient and/or operators performing the next procedure with the endoscope.¿.
