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 root cause of the reported event is unable to be determined.However, the likely cause of the reported event is due to improper handling in the form of external force applied by the customer, which has caused the lens to come loose or even break off.Additionally, the deposits are residues from reprocessing or use, limescale or cleaning agents, and are therefore on the outside of the flat glass.The reason for this could be improper reprocessing.Olympus will continue to monitor field performance for this device.
