|
This report is being supplemented to provide additional information based on the legal manufacturer's final investigation.Based on the results of the investigation, the observed foreign material in the air/water supply cylinder and channel could not be identified and a definitive root cause of the issue could not be determined, as there was no deformation that might result in the retention of foreign material and the facility device reprocessing was confirmed to have been implemented in accordance with the ifu, however, the issue was likely the result of insufficient device cleaning/reprocessing.The issues may be detected/prevented by following the instructions for use sections below: sif-q180 operation manual chapter 3 preparation and inspection.Sif-q180 reprocessing manual chapter 5 reprocessing the endoscope (and related reprocessing accessories).Olympus will continue to monitor field performance for this device.
