Manufacturer Narrative

This supplemental report is being submitted to provide the results of the manufacturer¿s investigation.A review of the device history record (dhr), and a review of the instructions for use (ifu) were conducted during this investigation.The review of the dhr did not find any abnormalities or anomalies identified during production.The device met all specifications upon release.The ifu contains the following statements: ¿do not reuse rinse water.To remove the detergent solution from the endoscope and accessories completely, rinse them enough in clean water (potable water, water that a microbe was removed by a filter, de-ionized water, sterile water, etc.).Once removed from disinfectant solution, the instrument must be thoroughly rinsed with sterile water to remove any residual disinfectant.If sterile water is not available, clean, potable tap water or water that has been processed (e.G., filtered) to improve its microbiological quality may be used.When nonsterile water is used after disinfection, wipe the endoscope and flush the channels with 70% ethyl or isopropyl alcohol, then air-dry all internal channels to inhibit the growth of bacteria.¿ the root cause could not be determined.Probable causes include improper reprocessing of the device.Since rust occurred at the distal end from the tip of the subject product to the a-rubber, there is a possibility that correct reprocessing was not performed.Olympus will continue to monitor the field performance of this device.
