This report is being supplemented to provide additional information based on the approved final investigation.Section d4 was corrected with information that was inadvertently left out of the initial report.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, and since no device malfunction was confirmed during evaluation, the definitive root cause of the footswitch issue could not be determined.It is possible that the footswitch issue was caused by mishandling from the user.Olympus will continue to monitor field performance for this device.
