Additional Manufacturer Narrative

This report is being supplemented to provide additional information based on the approved 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, it is possible that water got inside the device from the hole on the cable, and this deteriorated the cable temporarily and caused communication failure.The instruction manual identifies the following verbiage, which may have prevented the phenomenon: ¿never reprocess, or store this camera head with sharp-tipped instruments (tweezers, forceps, knives, etc.).This could scratch or tear holes in the camera cable, which could allow water to penetrate and damage electrical circuits inside the camera head.¿ olympus will continue to monitor field performance for this device.
