Additional Manufacturer Narrative

This report is being supplemented to provide additional information based on the approved final investigation.Based on the results of the investigation, the definitive root cause of the reported issue could not be determined.A likely mechanism causing the broken cutting wire might be the following.1.The device was not protruded enough from the endoscope until the rear end of the cutting wire was in the field of view.2.Due to the situation of ¿1¿ description, the cutting wire and the endoscope were being close to each other.3.The output was activated in state of ¿2¿ description.This had led to an electrical discharge between the cutting wire and the distal end of the endoscope.4.An electrical discharge occurred, and the cutting wire became hot instantly.This had caused the cutting wire to break.It can be inferred that heat generated by an electrical discharge caused damage of the coated portion.Olympus will continue to monitor field performance for this device.
