This report is being supplemented to provide additional information based on the legal manufacturer's final investigation.Approximately over 15 years have passed since the device was manufactured.A review of the device history record could not be performed because the device was manufactured over 15 years ago.However, olympus only releases products to market that meet all manufacturing specifications and final product release criteria.Based on the results of the legal manufacturer's investigation, the reported phenomenon was likely caused by the broken thermal fuse.A definitive root cause cannot be identified.
