This report is being updated to report investigation findings.Device history record (dhr)/service history review: a dhr review has been performed for this product and determined that there were no nonconformance's during the manufacturing process of this device.Conclusion summary: olympus could not identify the definitive root cause of the reported event.[observations] we confirmed the following: we confirmed that this case was about ¿the black foreign material fell¿ inside the patient¿s body.There was no detailed descriptions of the fallen foreign material.According to the device inspection results, it was confirmed that the adhesive on the a-rubber was cracked, the distal end was damaged, and there were scratches on the lens.It could not be determined whether the damage was caused by stress or handling.As a result of checking the manufacturing record, it was determined the subject device was shipped as a good product (no design or safety non-conformities) it was uncertain if there was a relevance between the fallen material and each part of the damaged scope.Sterrad sterilization was adopted in the re-processing of the device, but it was uncertain if there was a relevance to the reported event or not.From the above, it is unclear whether the black foreign matter seen was due to the damage found on inspection, or whether it is caused by insufficient sterilization from the sterrad automated scope reprocessor.Due to these factors, the root cause could not be identified.
