Additional Manufacturer Narrative

A review of the device history record found no deviations that could have caused or contributed to the reported issue.The device was returned to olympus for inspection, and the customer's complaint/reportable malfunction was confirmed.Based on the results of the investigation, a definitive root cause could not be determined.However, since there is a hole in the curved rubber, the moisture intruded into the inside.It is presumed that moisture remained inside due to the perforation of the curved rubber, and the color of the moisture became brown due to the rust (corrosion) of the bending tube and flowed out.Olympus will continue to monitor the field performance for this device.
