This report is being supplemented to provide additional information based on the legal manufacturer's final investigation.A review of the device history record found no deviations that could have caused or contributed to the reported issue.Based on the results of the investigation, the forceps cover was likely missing because of an external force applied, such as strong rubbing, on the part during normal use including reprocessing.The following is included in the instructions for use which can detect the event: "inspect the external surface of the entire insertion section including the bending section and the distal end for dents, bulges, swelling, scratches, holes, sagging, transformation, bends, adhesion of foreign bodies, missing parts, protruding objects, or other irregularities." per the legal manufacturer, a device failing the leak test as included in the initial mdr has no potential to cause or contribute to death or serious injury if the malfunction was to recur.
