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 definitive root cause of the basket and guidewire tip deformation could not be determined.The instruction manual identifies the following verbiage, which may have prevented the phenomenon: ¿do not insert the instrument into the endoscope if the basket is not fully closed.Otherwise, patient injury, such as perforation, bleeding, or mucous membrane damage could occur.It could also damage the endoscope and/or instrument.When the basket does not open and/or close smoothly, do not apply force but move the forceps elevator, set the endoscope's bending angle back, or move the position of the basket until the basket opens and closes smoothly.If the action of opening/closing the basket is forced, the sheath may stretch and the resistance in operating the handle may increase.Also, the stone may not be retrieved, and/or the basket with stone engaged may become impacted in the body.¿.Olympus will continue to monitor field performance for this device.
