Manufacturer Narrative

This supplemental report is being submitted to provide additional information.Omsc reviewed the manufacturing history (dhr) of the subject device and confirmed no irregularity.Considering the evaluation result by (b)(4), it was surmised that the reported event occurred by short circuit around the electrical image unit (ccd) due to the water leakage of the instrument channel.The water leakage of the instrument channel was possibly caused by interference of endo therapy accessories.The instruction manual of the device instructs; be sure to perform a leakage test on the endoscope prior to manual cleaning, and do not use the endoscope if a leak is detected.Use of an endoscope with a leak may cause a sudden loss of the endoscopic image, damage to the bending mechanism or other malfunctions and poses an infection-control risk.
