Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
This report is being supplemented to provide additional information based on the legal manufacturer's final investigation.The device history record was unable to be reviewed for this device since the serial number was not provided.However, olympus only releases products to market that meet all manufacturing specifications and final product release criteria.Based on the results of the investigation, the customer¿s complaint could not be confirmed since the device was not returned to olympus for evaluation.Therefore, a definitive root cause of the reported event could not be determined.The event can be detected/prevented by following the instructions for use (ifu) which state: "the splint is not bacteriostatic toward pre-existing infections and does not prevent the occurrence of new infections." this supplemental report includes a correction to e1 from the initial medwatch.Olympus will continue to monitor field performance for this device.
