Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
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 excessive force/mishandling by the customer caused the scratched/cracked plan glass.The root cause was unable to be determined for the detached lens, since that was unable to be confirmed during investigation.Olympus will continue to monitor field performance for this device.
