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, the observed foreign material in the objective lens could not be identified and a definitive root cause of the issue could not be determined, however, it was found that though reprocessing is carried out manually and with a washing machine at the facility, no special attention was paid to the tip itself.The issue was likely the result of insufficient device cleaning/reprocessing.The issue may be detected/prevented by following the instructions for use sections below: chapter 3 compatible reprocessing methods.Chapter 4 reprocessing workflow for endoscopes and accessories.Chapter 5 reprocessing the endoscope (and related reprocessing accessories).Chapter 6 reprocessing the accessories.Chapter 7 reprocessing endoscopes and accessories using an aer/wd.Olympus will continue to monitor field performance for this device.
