Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Additional information: b5 - describe event or problem; h6 - medical device problem code; device evaluation: the suspect medical device was not returned to the manufacturer for investigation/evaluation but to olympus medical system corporation (omsc) in japan (returned to omsc on 2022/11/28).The evaluation at omsc confirmed the reported cloudy image and found the outer tube damaged at the distal end.Furthermore, foreign material was found on the cover glass of the eyepiece.All findings were caused by mechanical force and can thus be attributed to use error.A material or quality problem can be excluded since a manufacturing and quality control review was performed for the affected serial number of the rigid scope without showing any abnormalities.The case will be closed on olympus side with no further actions and the user will be informed about the investigation results.
