Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
This report is being supplemented to provide additional information based on the legal manufacturer's final investigation.The device history record was unable to be reviewed as the subject device was manufactured over 15 years ago.However, olympus only releases products to market that meet all manufacturing specifications and final product release criteria.Based on the results of the investigation, it is likely that the image was not displayed due to poor communication caused by failure of the charged coupled device (ccd) and the cable.The cause of the faulty ccd and the cable could not be identified.Olympus will continue to monitor field performance for this device.
