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, it is likely that the reported event occurred due to wear and tear and/or improper handling (impact or shock).Additionally, cracks on the insulation material are mostly not visible, making visual inspection difficult.However, the subject device was not returned, and the root cause of the suggested event could not be determined.Olympus will continue to monitor field performance for this device.
