Updated fields: h6 and h10.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 possible that the slider was slightly pushed causing the cutting wire to deflect.The coated portion of the cutting wire has possibly been rubbed due to the effect of contacting a metal area of the endoscope.The occurrence of the reported problem can be prevented by adhering to the instructions for use (ifu) which states the following: ¿when inserting the instrument into the endoscope, be sure that the cutting wire is parallel to the tube.Otherwise, the metal part of the forceps elevator may contact the cutting wire and peel off the coating material.¿ olympus will continue to monitor field performance for this device.
