This report is being supplemented to provide additional information based on the legal manufacturer's final investigation and correction to the initial with information inadvertently left out.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 the reported event might have occurred due to wrong handling, not to defects of the device.However, the subject device was not returned and the root cause of the suggest event could not be determined.The event can be prevented by following the instructions for use which state: "when making the coil sheath slide, confirm under x-ray image that the tube sheath is completely covered by coil sheath.If not completely covered, the calculus may not be crushed and/or the instrument with calculus engaged may not be removed from the body." "during lithotripsy, make sure to have the knob of the coil sheath properly set in the groove of the slider part.If the coil sheath moves, the stone may not be crushed and/or the instrument with calculus engaged may not be removed from the body." "to prevent damaging the instrument, the rotatable knob on the bml handle can be turned even when the holder is fully extended.At this point, the basket cannot be pulled in any further.In that case, stop turning the rotatable knob." olympus will continue to monitor field performance for this device.
