Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
This report is being supplemented to provide additional information, based on the legal manufacturer's (lm) investigation.The device history record was unable to be reviewed for this device, since the serial and/or lot number was not provided.However, olympus only releases products to market that meet all manufacturing specifications and final product release criteria.The subject device was not returned to olympus for evaluation.Therefore, the reported issue was not confirmed.Based on the results of the investigation, regarding the postoperative urethral stricture, it is likely, that the size of the device (a22026a), was not appropriate for the patient's anatomy, which resulted in dilation.This supplemental report includes information added to d8.Olympus will continue to monitor field performance for this device.
