Manufacturer Narrative
|
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.Based on the results of the investigation, possible causes may include: the cutting wire was pulled tightly when the distal end of the tube was not deflecting enough.A tensile load applied to the press fitted area of the distal tip.This caused the distal tip to detach from the tube.Some loads were applied to the cutting wire after the distal tip was detached from the tube.This caused the cutting wire to break and fall off.A definitive root cause cannot be identified.Olympus will continue to monitor the field performance of this device.
