The device was returned to olympus for evaluation and the evaluation found that the nozzle and suction cylinder was shaved.Because the suction cylinder was shaved, suction volume did not meet the standard value.The objective lens, universal cord, scope cover, and light guide lens was scratched.Due to the scratches insulation resistance value at the distal end did not meet the standard value, and the objective lens image had a partial dark area.Due to wear of the angle wire, bending angle in down direction and the play of the right/left knob did not meet the standard value.Due to clogging of nozzle, water removal ability did not meet the standard value.The connecting tube was wrinkled.The right/left and up/down knobs were deformed.The probe cover was burned.Adhesive on the bending suction cover was detached.Due to deformation electrical connector, water tightness was lost.The investigation is ongoing.A supplemental report will be submitted upon completion of the investigation or if any additional information is provided by the user facility.
