This report is being supplemented to provide additional information based on the legal manufacturer's final investigation.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, olympus confirmed foreign material came out of the device, but the type of the material or root cause cannot be identified.We presume that reprocessing was not conducted properly due to leakage from objective-lens glue.Subsequently, the material was not possibly eliminated.A definitive root cause cannot be determined.The event can be detected/prevented by following the instructions for use which state: the instruction manual operation manual ¿gif/cf/pcf-290 series, chapter 3 preparation and inspection¿ describes the methods for detection.The instruction manual reprocessing manual ¿gif/cf/pcf-290 series, chapter 5 reprocessing the endoscope (and related reprocessing accessories)¿ describes the methods for prevention.Olympus will continue to monitor field performance for this device.
