This report is being supplemented to provide additional information based on the legal manufacturer's 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 phenomenon (loose endoscope connector) likely occurred due to external force that was applied to the connector and the part became loose.In addition, during the device evaluation, a deep cut was found on the distal end, which was also likely caused by external force.A review of the instructions for use, the following description was confirmed: "do not apply shock to the distal end of the insertion tube, particularly the ultrasonic transducer and the objective lens surface at the distal end.This could cause abnormalities in the visual and/or ultrasonic images.
