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.It has been over 3 years since the subject device was manufactured.Based on the results of the investigation, the cause of the clogged nozzle by foreign material likely occurred from a broken piece of the injection tube or a silicone-rubber product entering into the channel.This may have occurred due to the opening of the nozzle being damaged from physical stress to the distal end.The specific root cause could not be determined at this time.The following information is stated in the instructions for use which may have detected the event: "preparation and inspection.Inspection of the endoscope: inspect the air/water nozzle at the distal end of the endoscope¿s insertion section for abnormal swelling, bulges, dents, or other irregularities.Inspection of the endoscopic system: inspection of the air-feeding function.Inspection of the objective lens cleaning function." the following information is stated in the instructions for use regarding user handling: "important information.Please read before use.Warning and cautions: warning: do not strike, bend, hit, pull, twist, or drop the endoscope¿s distal end, insertion tube, bending section, control section, universal cord, or endoscope connector of the endoscope with excessive force.The endoscope may be damaged and could cause patient injury, burns, bleeding and/or perforations.It could also cause parts of the endoscope to fall off inside the patient." olympus will continue to monitor field performance for this device.
