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, it is likely some external force was added to the distal end, damaging the part and it fell off.The instructions for use have the following statement which can prevent the event: "do not apply shock to the distal end of the insertion section, particularly the ultrasonic transducer and the objective lens surface at the distal end.Visual abnormalities may result.".
