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.Based on the results of the investigation, it is likely that the reportable malfunction (broken/damaged lens) occurred due to excessive force by the customer.However, the definitive root cause was unable to be determined.Olympus will continue to monitor field performance for this device.
