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 customer complaint of device breaking at the distal tip has been confirmed.The distal end of the device was found to be broken and showing the inner wires.However, the distal end did not fully break off and all parts of the device appear to have been returned.The likely root cause of the breakage was too much force being applied or overbending the tip, which caused the sheathing on the distal end to snap.The instruction manual identifies the following verbiage, which may have prevented the phenomenon: "do not use the device if resistance to insertion is encountered.Reduce the angle or lower the forceps elevator of the endoscope until the device passes smoothly; do not advance or extend the device abruptly." olympus will continue to monitor field performance for this device.
