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.It has been over 7 years since the subject device was manufactured.Based on the results of the investigation, it¿s likely the coating of the insertion tube peeled off due to stress of repeated use, external factors, or handling.The final root cause of this event was unable to be identified.The following is included in the instructions for use: ¿chapter 3 preparation and inspection, 3.6 inspection of the endoscope: 1.Inspect the control section and the camera section for excessive scratching, deformation, loose parts, or other irregularities.2.Confirm that the instrument channel port does not rotate or turn by attempting to rotate or turn the instrument channel port in a counterclockwise direction as shown in figure 3.21.If the instrument channel port is able to be rotated or turned, do not use the endoscope and return it to olympus for repair.3.Visually inspect the rubber part around the instrument channel port.Figure 3.22 depicts the rubber part in a normal and abnormal condition.Lifting of the rubber part is abnormal.If the rubber part is lifted from the molding part as shown in figure 3.22, (abnormal condition) do not use the endoscope and return it to olympus for repair.4.Inspect the boot and the insertion section near the boot for bends, twists, or other irregularities.5.Inspect the external surface of the entire insertion section including the bending section and the distal end for dents, bulges, swelling, scratches, holes, sagging, transformation, bends, adhesion of foreign bodies, missing parts, protruding objects, or other irregularities.¿ olympus will continue to monitor field performance for this device.
