The device was returned to olympus for evaluation and the reported event was confirmed.It was found that water tightness was lost due to a pinhole on the bending section cover.In addition to the forceps plug mouthpiece being scraped, other evaluation findings are as follows: the adhesive on the bending section cover was chipped; the bending angle in the up direction did not meet the standard value due to wear of the angle wire; the grip and the upward/downward plate were discolored; and the venting connector under grip was shaved.Lastly, there were scratches on the following parts: the eyepiece, the connecting tube, the diopter ring, the control unit, the grip, the forceps elevator lever, the angulation lever, and the image guide protector.The investigation is ongoing, and a supplemental report will be submitted upon completion of the investigation or if any additional information is provided by the user facility.
