Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
This report is being supplemented to provide additional information based on the legal manufacturer's investigation.The failure was a result of a damaged foot pedal receptacle.While a definitive root cause is unknown, the damage to the receptacle is likely due to general wear and tear.Additionally, cosmetic damage to the housing as well as missing/damaged housing screws were noted further suggesting general wear and tear consistent with an aging unit.There is no evidence the device has previously been returned to olympus for general preventative maintenance or repair.As stated on the ifu (instruction for use) the user manual states: olympus recommends that the unit is returned every 24 months for a calibration and safety inspection by the manufacturer.Olympus will continue to monitor complaints for this device.
