This report is being supplemented to provide additional information based on the legal manufacturer's final investigation.The device history record was unable to be reviewed for this device since the serial number was not provided.However, olympus only releases products to market that meet all manufacturing specifications and final product release criteria.Based on the results of the investigation, the report of gas leakage could not be confirmed.Since the device was not returned for evaluation, the cause of this reported event could not be identified.Furthermore, the customer reported that the issue was resolved, as they were able to use the yoke without additional washers after additional testing.This supplemental report includes information added to b5 and d8.Olympus will continue to monitor field performance for this device.

Event or Problem Description

The following additional information was received from the customer: "i believe the issue we¿re having is due to the staff wanting to add additional washers when replacing the tanks.In the past, they had a different yoke that slides from the top and secure it using a small gray washer/spacer that comes with the new tanks.After doing some testing, we were able to use the yoke without additional washers, but the staff is still convinced that it needs to have additional washer.I believe we¿re good for now, and i¿ll be sure to reach out if i have any questions.".
