This report is being supplemented to provide additional information based on the legal manufacturer's reinvestigation.Based on the results of the reinvestigation, the root cause of the foreign material could not be concluded although component analysis detected a component derived from chemicals that did not originate from the endoscope nor the manufacturing of the endoscope (a component which was included in mepivacaine hydrochloride).Therefore, chemicals may have remained on the surface of the insertion section, but the root cause of the foreign material remaining was unable to be specified.Olympus will continue to monitor field performance for this device.
