This report is being supplemented to provide additional information based on the legal manufacturer's final investigation.The customer stated they perform pre-clean steps without any delay but there is a possibility that sufficient brushing could not be performed.The device was not correctly reprocessed at the time of pickup of the device for inspection.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 the foreign material remained since reprocessing was deviated from the instructions for use.The foreign material was unable to be identified.The event can be prevented by following the instructions for use (ifu): detection methods are written in ifu: gif type xp150n operation manual chapter 3 preparation and inspection.Prevention measures are written in ifu: gif type xp150n reprocessing manual chapter 3 cleaning, disinfection and sterilization procedures.Olympus will continue to monitor field performance for this device.
