    THE PRODUCT WAS RETURNED FOR ANALYSIS. THE REPORTED CONDITION WAS CONFIRMED. THE INVESTIGATION IDENTIFIED THE MOST PROBABLE CAUSE OF THE REPORTED CONDITION TO BE DUE TO THE NEW LIGHT SOURCE BULB THAT WAS OPERATED AT FULL EXPOSURE WITH DIRT ON THE SURFACE OF THE OPTICAL CABLE AND ENDOSCOPE AT THE CONNECTION POINT. THE ¿INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE¿ PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING GUIDANCE: ¿ALWAYS START THE PROCEDURE WITH THE VISIBLE LIGHT SOURCE AT ITS LOWEST POSSIBLE SETTING 50%). AS NEEDED, GRADUALLY INCREASE THE LIGHT OUTPUT TO THE MINIMUM LEVEL WHERE ADEQUATE ILLUMINATION IS ACHIEVED. DO NOT PLACE THE ENDOSCOPE¿S DISTAL END OR THE LIGHT GUIDE CABLE CONNECTOR IN DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE PATIENT¿S SKIN OR TISSUES, OR ON FLAMMABLE/CONSUMABLE MATERIALS OR ON HEAT SENSITIVE MATERIALS AS BURN MAY RESULT.
