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 11 years since the subject device was manufactured.Based on the results of the investigation, the root cause of the reported event could not be determined.However, it is likely that the blurry image occurred due to a faulty charged coupled device (ccd).Therefore, the defective device needed to be replaced, causing a 2-minute procedural delay.This supplemental report includes a correction to e2, e3, and g2 to provide information that was inadvertently not included in the initial medwatch.Olympus will continue to monitor field performance for this device.
