Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
This report is being supplemented to provide additional information based on the legal manufacturer's final investigation and to provide an update to field h4.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, it is likely that the reported event occurred due to wear and tear.The loop at the distal end of the electrode wears out during use and can break, burn or melt.However, a specific root cause of the reported event could not be identified with the information received.Olympus will continue to monitor field performance for this device.
