Additional Manufacturer Narrative

Correction: the udi was inadvertently omitted from the initial report.This report is being supplemented to provide additional information based on the legal manufacturer's final investigation.The device history record was unable to be reviewed for this device since the serial number was not provided.However, olympus only releases products to market that meet all manufacturing specifications and final product release criteria.Based on the results of the investigation, the root cause of the event was unable to be identified.The subject device was not returned to olympus; therefore, the reported event could not be confirmed.The event can be detected/prevented by following the instructions for use which state: "be sure to sterilize with ethylene oxide gas before use.For sterilization methods, refer to the ``instruction manual'' of the ethylene oxide gas sterilizer.For ethylene oxide gas sterilization conditions, see tables 1 and 2." olympus will continue to monitor field performance for this device.
