H4: the manufacture date cannot be identified at this time since the lot was not provided.This report is being supplemented to provide additional information based on the legal manufacturer's final investigation.The device history record (dhr) was unable to be reviewed for this device however, olympus only releases products to market that meet all manufacturing specifications and final product release criteria.Based on the results of the investigation, it¿s likely the forceps plug leak was caused by pressure applied from the distal end of the scope under the following circumstances: the pressure setting in the facility is high.Due to deterioration, scratches, and deformation of the rubber part of the forceps plug, air leakage from the slit is likely to occur.A final root cause of the event was unable to be identified.Olympus will continue to monitor field performance for this device.
