Corrected fields: b5, d10.The customer's allegation was confirmed.Based on the results of the investigation, it is likely that one of the following led to the malfunction: high frequency current was applied between the cutting wire and the tissue at the point of the contact.As a result, the current density at the contact area increased, and the cutting wire became instantly hot.High frequency current was applied when the cutting wire and the tissue were being close to each other.As a result, an electrical discharge occurred, and the cutting wire became instantly hot.However, a definitive root cause cannot be identified.A device history review revealed no issues that could have caused or contributed to the reported issue.Olympus will continue to monitor the field performance of this device.Should additional relevant information become available, a supplemental report will be submitted.
