Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
This report is being supplemented to provide additional information based on the legal manufacturer's final investigation.Correction to h4, information was inadvertently not included on the initial medwatch.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 is likely the foot petal being stuck when pressed down occurred due to poor tension within the spring.However, a definitive root cause could not be determined.Olympus will continue to monitor field performance for this device.
