This supplemental report is being submitted to provide the results of the manufacturer¿s investigation.A review of the device history record (dhr) was conducted during this investigation.As the production lot number of the equipment is unknown, we checked the dhr for one year (january 2020 to december 2020) from the date of occurrence and found that there are no abnormalities in the inspection items related to the event reported.The root cause could not be determined.However, probable causes for the reported event may include: - the rubber of the biopsy valve is damaged or deformed by attaching/detaching the aspiration biopsy needle and the syringe during the procedure.- the biopsy valve was not placed properly on the endoscope.Olympus will continue to monitor the field performance of this device.
