Additional Manufacturer Narrative

This supplemental report is being submitted to provide the results of the legal manufacturer's final investigation.Additional information added to field h6.A review of the device history record found no deviations that could have caused or contributed to the reported issue.It has been over 11 years since the subject device was manufactured.Based on the results of the investigation, foreign material was detected in the air/water cylinder, air/water channel, auxiliary water channel, edge of bending section cover, and in the gap of scratch at the insertion section.The cause of the foreign material could not be determined.The materials may not have been removed because reprocessing could not be conducted properly due to the leakage from a deformed electrical connector guide pin.The event can be detected and prevented by following the instructions for use: detection methods are written in ifu: evis exera ii gif/cf/pcf type 180 series operation manual chapter 3 preparation and inspection.Prevention measures are written in ifu: evis exera ii gif/cf/pcf type 180 series reprocessing manual chapter 5 reprocessing the endoscope (and related reprocessing accessories).Olympus will continue to monitor field performance for this device.
