Additional Manufacturer Narrative

This report is being supplemented to provide additional information based on the legal manufacturer's final investigation and device evaluation.The device was evaluated by olympus, and the reported failure (¿image has lines/no image, error e315¿) was confirmed.A review of the device history record found no deviations that could have caused or contributed to the reported issue.It has been over 14 years since the subject device was manufactured.Based on the results of the investigation, error code e315 likely occurred due to fluid invasion of the scope connector.However, the root cause could not be determined.This supplemental report includes a correction to g2 to provide information that was inadvertently not included in the initial medwatch.Olympus will continue to monitor field performance for this device.
