Additional information: h4 - device manufacturer date; device evaluation: the suspect medical device was not returned to the manufacturer for evaluation/investigation but to an olympus regional repair center (rrc) in germany (returned to rrc on 2021-03-03).The evaluation could not confirm the reported phenomenon, but the following issues were found: the pump stops after operating for 20 seconds with a setting of 20.The front panel is broken and needs to be replaced.The power switch was stuck and had to be readjusted and a screw from the case was missing which neither impacts the functionality nor the safety of the device.Due to the age of the affected device it is assumed that the stuck switch was caused by mechanical wear and tear.Furthermore, contamination may also have caused the stuck switch.No information was provided on the mechanical damages of the front panel.Damages of this type are usually caused by mechanical force.An improper handling by the user cannot be ruled out.According to the evaluation results, the outage of the pump after the specified time was caused by a defective motherboard and a defective power module.Thus, this event/incident was attributed to component failure.A manufacturing and quality control review was performed for the affected serial number of the "afu-100" without showing any abnormalities.The case will be closed on olympus side with no further actions, but the reported event/incident will be recorded for trending and surveillance purposes.Furthermore, the user will be informed about the investigation results.
