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 likely cause of the reported event is due to the normally open wire and normally closed wire coming into contact due to the large gage wire being stripped.If additional information becomes available, this report will be supplemented accordingly.Olympus will continue to monitor field performance for this device.
