This report is being supplemented to provide additional information based on the legal manufacturer's final investigation and device evaluation.Additionally, to provide correction to the initial with information inadvertently left out (d9), and to provide an update to fields (h3 and h4).The device was evaluated by olympus, and no reportable malfunctions were found that could have led to the reported event.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, it is likely the reported event occurred due to the hook of the rotary clip device was pushed out too far, causing it to strike the tissue inside the body.However, a specific root cause could not be identified.The event can be detected/prevented by following the instructions for use which state: "do not extend the clip abruptly from the distal end of the coil sheath.Also, when pushing the clip out of the coil sheath, keep a sufficient distance between the distal end of the coil sheath and the mucous membrane.If the clip is extended without keeping this distance, the clip may hit against the tissue unintentionally, and perforation, hemorrhage or mucous membrane damage or dropping off of the clip, or break up of the clip may result." "do not force the clip against body cavity tissue.The clip may be deformed and does not close properly.This could result in reduced performance." olympus will continue to monitor field performance for this device.
