This supplemental report is being submitted to provide additional information.Omsc conducted analysis for the brown foreign material found on the instrument channel port of the subject device.The result of ft-ir (fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy) analysis indicated components originated carboxylate salt and hydroxide.Edx (energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy) analysis detected fe, cr and ni.The analysis for the foreign material on the forceps/irrigation plug, which was used with the subject device in the user facility, showed the same result as the instrument channel port.Based on the result of the analysis and the color of the foreign material, it is concluded that the foreign material is possibly composed of the rust of the instrument channel port and a material originated from medical agents such as detergent solution.The exact cause could not be determined at present, but the insufficient reprocessing by the user facility cannot be ruled out as the cause of this event.
