This report is being supplemented to provide additional information based on results of the device evaluation and the legal manufacturer's final investigation.Despite good faith attempts the user culture results and cleaning disinfection and sterilization (cds) processes were not shared.The device was evaluated where no abnormalities were found that could have led to the positive culture.The following defects were noted: - connecting tube - dent; - up down plate ¿ peeling off; - up down knob - painting peel off; - free engage knob - painting peel off; - plug unit ¿ damaged housing.However, these defects alone are not considered severe enough to cause a potential adverse event.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 and because the user culture results were not shared, the reported event could not be confirmed and a root cause could not be determined.Growth of microorganisms were reported through culture testing by the user after reprocessing.However, when olympus culture tested after reprocessing in accordance with the instructions for use (ifu) before repair, the results conformed to the regulation's recommendation.Olympus will continue to monitor field performance for this device.
