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.Based on the results of the investigation, the root cause of the reported event is unable to be determined.However, the cause of the event is likely due to the bending section cover has a brush and the cross section is not flat, so we presume that the brush resulted in the lack of bending section cover.Olympus will continue to monitor field performance for this device.
