The device was returned to olympus for inspection and the reported failure was confirmed.A root cause could not be identified.Based on the results of the investigation, it is likely the following led to the malfunction: the most probable cause of the unspecified scope communication error, the b30 scope communication error, and the no image was due to an electrical/electronic component problem identified, which is an expected or random component failure without any design or manufacturing issue.Should additional relevant information become available, a supplemental report will be submitted.Olympus will continue to monitor field performance for this device.
