Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
This supplemental report is being submitted to provide the results of 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.It has been over 1 years since the subject device was manufactured.Based on the results of the investigation and the information provided, it could not be determined what the foreign material was.It was likely caused by insufficient reprocessing due to leakage from the connector contact pin.However, a definitive root cause could not be determined.The instruction manual states the detection method associated with the event in "gif/cf/pcf-190 series operation manual chapter 3 preparation and inspection", and preventative measures in "gif/cf/pcf-190 series reprocessing manual chapter 5 reprocessing the endoscope".Three attempts were performed to obtain additional information, but no response was received from the customer.Olympus will continue to monitor field performance for this device.
