Additional Manufacturer Narrative
|
|
This supplemental report is being submitted to provide the results of the final investigation.The device was returned to olympus for inspection and the reported failure was confirmed.A definitive root cause could not be identified.Based on the results of the investigation, it is likely the following led to the malfunction: 1.The cutting wire where the wire coating was torn came into contact with the distal end of the endoscope when the forceps elevator was raised.2.Under circumstances described above 1, an electric conduction was activated.This caused the cutting wire to become hot instantly at the contact point.As a result, the cutting wire broke.A likely factor causing tears of the coated portion of the cutting wire might be the following.However, the exact cause could not be determined.·it is possible that the slider was slightly pushed causing the cutting wire to deflect.The coated portion of the cutting wire has possibly been rubbed due to the effect of contacting a metal area of the endoscope.Olympus will continue to monitor field performance for this device.
