Additional Manufacturer Narrative
The devices were not returned to olympus for evaluation.The exact cause for the reported event cannot be determined at this time.The most likely cause of the reported event can be attributed to user handling.The instruction manual of the subject device warns; do not withdraw the biopsy forceps while the endoscope is angulated.Doing so could cause the manipulation wire to detach from the cups.A part of manipulation wire could be damaged and detached to fall off into the patient's body or the wire may stick out and damage the endoscope and/or cause bleeding or damage the mucous membrane.Using the equipment with a detached wire could cause bleeding or damage to the mucous membrane.
