    Narratives

    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 0

    THE SUSPECT MEDICAL DEVICE WAS NOT RETURNED TO THE MANUFACTURER FOR INVESTIGATION/EVALUATION. THEREFORE, THE MANUFACTURER'S EVALUATION WAS EXCLUSIVELY PERFORMED ON THE BASIS OF THE PROVIDED INFORMATION. ACCORDING TO THE AVAILABLE DOCUMENTATION, ERROR MESSAGE E433 OCCURRED WHICH IS TRIGGERED BY THE GENERATOR¿S SAFETY SYSTEM. IN CASE OF CRITICAL ERRORS, THE SAFETY SYSTEM WILL NOT PERMIT ANY FURTHER USE OF THE GENERATOR UNTIL THE ERROR IS RECTIFIED. IN THE CASE AT HAND, THIS WAS MOST LIKELY CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE TRANSFORMER TR1 ON THE GENERATOR BOARD. THEREFORE, THIS EVENT/INCIDENT WAS ATTRIBUTED TO COMPONENT FAILURE. HOWEVER, A MANUFACTURING AND QUALITY CONTROL REVIEW WAS PERFORMED FOR THE AFFECTED SERIAL NUMBER OF THE ELECTROSURGICAL GENERATOR WITHOUT SHOWING ANY ABNORMALITIES. FURTHERMORE, A DETAILED RISK ASSESSMENT REGARDING THIS ISSUE WAS PERFORMED AND THE RISK TO PATIENTS, USERS, AND/OR THIRD PARTIES WAS EVALUATED AS ACCEPTABLE. THE CASE WILL BE CLOSED FROM OLYMPUS SIDE WITH NO FURTHER ACTIONS BUT THE REPORTED EVENT/INCIDENT WILL BE RECORDED FOR TRENDING AND SURVEILLANCE PURPOSES. IN ADDITION, THE USER WILL BE INFORMED ABOUT THE INVESTIGATION RESULTS.
