Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
This report is being supplemented to provide additional information based on the legal manufacturer's investigation.The original equipment manufacturer (oem) performed a device history record review and no abnormalities were noted.This product was manufactured in specification.An investigation was completed by the oem and determined that there was no manufacturing nor material processing related root cause for this failure mode.The root cause has been proposed to be either an improper handling of the raw materials before and or while complete assembly of the device.Foreign material/fiber material can we presented in raw materials while in storage bins, transportation from storage to usage location and assembly of the raw materials to complete the finished good in the clean room.It is likely that the foreign material was presented in the packaging of the device.The foreign material/fiber material could have been presented at any point within the assembly/packaging processes.These devices are visually inspected 100% before sealing and packaging.This is believed to be an isolated incident as this is the first report event description in the past twelve months.Olympus will continue to monitor the field performance of this device.
