Additional 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.It has been over 8 years since the subject device was manufactured.Based on the results of the investigation, a definitive root cause could not be established.The suggested phenomenon was confirmed as a rubber-like material, but further analysis of the material could not be performed, and was therefore not able to be further identified.Deformation/damage of the air/water (a/w) nozzle was not reported.There was no deviation from the instructions for use.Therefore, a further cause of the suggested phenomenon could not be presumed.Olympus will continue to monitor field performance for this device.
