Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The device was returned to olympus for inspection.A root cause could not be identified.Based on the results of the investigation, it is likely the following led to the malfunction: the use of products that contain silicone can cause deposits of white foreign material.Simethicone and petroleum/oil/silicone-based lubricants are non-water soluble and thus not recommended for use by olympus.The event can be prevented by following the instructions for use which state: nothing other than sterile water should be used for air/water feeding.No additives should be put into the sterile water.Non-sterile water may cause patient cross-contamination and/or infection.Should additional relevant information become available, a supplemental report will be submitted.Olympus will continue to monitor field performance for this device.
