This supplemental report is being submitted to provide the results of the final investigation.Updated fields: g3, h2, h4, h6, h11 the device was not returned to olympus for inspection and the reported failure was confirmed.In addition, the following reportable malfunctions were identified during the device evaluation: the coated portion was torn and eventually torn off.A root cause could not be identified.Based on the results of the investigation, it is likely the following led to the malfunction: 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.Under circumstances described above, an electric conduction was activated.This may have caused the cutting wire to become hot instantly at the contact point.As a result, the cutting wire broke.For the tears of the coating portion, a root cause could not be identified.Based on the results of the investigation, it is likely the following led to the malfunction: 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 should additional relevant information become available, a supplemental report will be submitted.Olympus will continue to monitor field performance for this device.
