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, the root cause of the reported event is unable to be determined.However, the cause of the event is likely due to handling by the user might have contributed to the event by the balloons might have not deflated completely when the endoscope was withdrawn from the patient.It is also likely the balloon was not lubricated.The event can be detected/prevented by following the instructions for use (ifu) which state: ·observe the endoscopic image or the ultrasonic image on the video monitor and confirm that the balloon deflates properly.Otherwise, patient injury may occur.·if the balloon does not deflate even when the extension tube is removed from the endoscope, insert the channel cleaning wire (bw-16c) into the irrigation port to remove debris.The balloon will be automatically deflated.·always lubricate the balloon before insertion.Otherwise, the balloon could rupture or come off.This could result in patient injury.Olympus will continue to monitor field performance for this device.
