Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
This report is being supplemented to provide additional information based on the legal manufacturer's final investigation and device evaluation.The device was returned to olympus for inspection, and the findings are as follows: mq performed a visual inspection on the as is received condition of the device; observed that the device was returned in a clear plastic jar with an orange top.Inside the container was the valve along with two other small black pieces.The biopsy valve along with the two black pieces were removed from the container and examined under a microscope.Mq identified on end of the biopsy valve near the tab is split as it is damaged.On the inside of the biopsy valve some of the portions of the plastic are damaged as deformities and scrapes are present.The split on the tab starts from the bottom of the tab and ends at the top of the tab which was measured with a caliper at approximately 7.5 mm.Mq is unable to test this biopsy valve due to the valve being damaged as the valve will not be able to properly attach and secure on the test endoscope.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 bodily fluid leakage was likely caused by pressure being applied from the distal end of the scope due to a high pressure setting by the facility, and/or from deterioration, scratches, and deformation of the rubber part of the forceps plug resulting in air leakage from the slit.This likely resulted in fluid to leak from the forceps stopper.However, a root cause could not be determined.Olympus will continue to monitor field performance for this device.
