This supplemental report is being submitted to provide the results of the final investigation.Updated fields: d4, h2, h3, h6, h11.A review of the device history record found no deviations that could have caused or contributed to the reported issue.The device was returned to olympus for inspection, and the reported failure was confirmed.The device evaluation found the needle was broken at a position about 13mm from the tip of the needle tube.A root cause could not be identified.Based on the results of the investigation, it is likely the following led to the malfunction: the needle is broken when a load was applied to a needle that has been significantly bent and deformed in the direction of returning (stretching) it to a straight line.Should additional relevant information become available, a supplemental report will be submitted.Olympus will continue to monitor field performance for this device.
