Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
This report is being supplemented to provide additional information based on the legal manufacturer's final investigation.The device history record was unable to be reviewed for this device.However, olympus only releases products to market that meet all manufacturing specifications and final product release criteria.The case is not due to design.Based on the results of the investigation, the root cause could not be conclusively identified.It was likely the user facility did not train reprocessing staff sufficiently on handling and reprocessing in accordance with the instructions for use (ifu).Ifu (reprocessing manual) cautions the user against insufficient reprocessing as below: ¿1.4 precautions: an insufficiently cleaned, disinfected or sterilized endoscope and/or accessories may pose an infection control risk to the patients and/or operators who contact them.¿ the ifu also states the following on reprocessing steps for accessories: ¿chapter 6 reprocessing the accessories all accessories (except single-use accessories) must be reprocessed after each use to prevent an infection control risk" repeated attempts were performed to obtain additional information from the reporter but were not successful.If additional information is obtained at a later date, a supplemental report will be submitted.Olympus will continue to monitor the field performance of this device.
