Effective august 1, 2026, mdr-related activities and responsibilities were transferred to pentax medical corporation as part of a corporate restructuring.This report is being submitted by pentax medical corporation.In accordance with 21 cfr 803.3(m), because this corporate restructuring does not affect the manufacturing site, the fda registration number previously assigned for this site (#9610877) continues to be used.The product was returned to pentax medical for repair.Our technician checked the returned unit and confirmed that the cmos module with drive pcb blackout.Based on the result, we concluded that it was caused due to the excessive force applied on the cmos module with drive pcb.In addition, our technician confirmed that the segment fluid damage, the lcb (light carrying bundle) fluid damage, the light guide cable fluid damage, the lg connector fluid damage, the insertion flexible tube buckled, and the control body corroded; however, these defects are not the main cause, and/or irrelevant to the alleged complaint.Based on the technical report "hr-rpt-0586(image failure)" and/or the risk analysis results, it was evaluated to submit mdr.
