Additional Manufacturer Narrative
This report is being supplemented to provide additional information based on the legal manufacturer's final investigation.Please see the updates in sections h6 and h10.A review of the device history record found no deviations that could have caused or contributed to the reported issue.Although a definitive root cause cannot be identified, the following scenario likely caused the event: it is surmised that the tissue pad was severely worn and partly torn because the ultrasonic wave was output in a state where the grasping part was closed without grasping the tissue (including after the tissue was cut).The following information is included in the instructions for use (ifu): ¿do not activate output while the grasping section is closed without contacting tissue or vessel, or ensuring that tissue is transected.Otherwise, a local increase of the temperature due to a friction between the probe tip and the grasping section may result in various forms of damage in the probe tip and/or the tissue pad, such as premature wear, breakage, deformation, and/or falling off inside the body cavity and/or partial separating.¿ ¿when cutting or vessel sealing is performed, apply light tension on the tissue so that users can confirm that they are transected.Also, stop activation immediately after tissue is transected.Otherwise, the grasping section, the tissue pad, or the probe tip may break and fall, and partial separating of the tissue pad may occur due to a local increase of temperature caused by the friction between tissue pad and the probe tip during activation.¿ olympus will continue to monitor the performance of this device.
