This supplemental report is being submitted to provide the subject device evaluation result.The subject device was not returned to olympus medical systems corp.(omsc) for evaluation but was returned to olympus europa se & co.Kg (oekg).The exact cause of the reported phenomenon could not be conclusively determined.However, based on the information from oekg, there was the possibility that these phenomena were attributed to the followings.The subject device could not function; it might be attributed the failure of the thermal fuse due to the aging deterioration, or the blown-out of the thermal fuse due to the increasing temperature inside the subject device under the poor condition of the ventilation such as the blocking the ventilation grilles with the other device.The bottom side of the front panel was broken and the power switch was cracked; it might be attributed the repeatedly long-term use because over twenty nine years had passed from the subject device had been manufactured, or the excessive force being applied by the user.Olympus stated the appropriate handling of clk-4 and the counter measures against abnormalities in the instruction manual of clk-4.
