Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Investigation code: c1901:unable to exclude device problem.We are unable to verify the reported failure (leaking) as complaint sample was not returned for investigation.Based on investigation result, the cause of the reported failure (leaking) could be due to the tubing connection used with the scope was not properly secure which may cause water exit from the distal tip when activating irrigation during the procedure.Ambu production and qc had performed 100% checked on insufflation/rinsing valve on each of the scope.In addition, ambu production performed 100% leak and flow inspection on each of the scope to ensure the product is in good condition prior to shipment.Production, quality control and technical team have been alerted on this market complaint.
