The scope was sent to an independent laboratory for microbial testing.The test was completed but the test results are pending.The scope was ethylene oxide (eto) sterilized and returned to the service center for a device evaluation.A visual inspection was performed on the scope and found stains along the instrument channel wall and near the distal end opening (approximately 50mm).Additionally there are light stains near the control body side of the instrument channel.There was no foreign debris observed.The bending section cover was torn and the scope failed the leak test.The scope was previously purchased on (b)(6) 2019.The likely cause of the torn bending section cover is attributed to handling.The cause of the patient infection cannot be determined at this time, however, if additional information becomes available this report will be supplemented accordingly.
