Additional Manufacturer Narrative

The mdr supplemental report is being submitted to provide updated fields and final investigation results.Updated fields: d8, h2, h3, h6, h11.The device was returned for evaluation and the customer's allegation 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: 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.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.Olympus will continue to monitor the performance of this device.
