This report is being supplemented to provide additional information based on the approved final investigation.This supplemental report includes a correction to g2 to include information that was inadvertently not included in the initial medwatch.The event can be prevented by following the instructions for use (ifu): the balloon can easily tear, so beware of sharp objects.Store the balloon in a cool environment with low humidity.After opening the laminate package, reseal it securely.If the laminate package remains open, the efficacy of the deoxidizer will be reduced.H4: based on the 3 digit lot number provided, the manufacturing date of the device was in the month of june 2024 but a specific date could not be identified.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, and since the device was not returned for evaluation, the definitive root cause of the reported issue could not be determined.Olympus will continue to monitor field performance for this device.
