Manufacturer Narrative

The device referenced in this report has not been returned to olympus medical systems corp.For evaluation.The manufacturing record of the subject device was reviewed with no irregularity.Since this spring, the newly appointed physician sometimes reportedly inserts a scope with excessive force during cystoscopy.Therefore, the user facility thought the handling might be the cause.The user facility considered the possibility that microorganism remained in the subject device, because the number of the patients who became prostatitis was large.The user facility reported that water sometimes dropped from the subject device due to insufficient drying as the subject device was put and stored on the table after reprocessing.Therefore, the subject device was reprocessed by aer (automated endoscope reprocessor) before use, but the reprocessing is not conducted recently.A service personnel from olympus checked the procedure of reprocessing at the user facility and the followings are noted.The user facility does not carry out disinfection in the water supply line of the aer.Forceps/irrigation plug is not disassembled during reprocessing.The aer displays e99.(this message is displayed on aer when the number of days after disinfectant replacement or the number of times of use is too many.) the exact cause could not be conclusively determined at this moment, but it might be considered as a possible cause that there were some deviations from the instruction in reprocessing noted above.If additional and significant information becomes available, this report will be supplemented.
