    Additional Manufacturer Narrative · 1

    THE INVESTIGATION ALSO CONFIRMED THAT THE CUTTING WIRE WAS BROKEN AT THE COATED PORTION ADN THE BROKEN SECTION WAS MELTED AND BURNED. APPROXIMATELY COATING WAS MISSING FOR 7MM FROM THE BROKEN POINT. THERE WERE NO OTHER ABNORMALITIES RELATED TO THE BREAKAGE IN THE SUBJECT DEVICE. ALSO AS THE RESULT OF CHECKING THE MANUFACTURING RECORD OF THE SAME LOT, NOTHING ABNORMAL DETECTED. AS THE RESULTS OF THE INVESTIGATION, OMSC ASSUMES THAT THE DAMAGE OF THE COATING OCCURRED DUE TO CONTACTING WITH THE METAL PART OF THE FORCEPS ELEVATOR OF THE ENDOSCOPE. THE EXPOSED CUTTING WIRE FROM THE DAMAGED COATING CONTACTED OR CAME CLOSE TO THE METAL PART OF THE FORCEPS ELEVATOR WHILE ACTIVATING THE OUTPUT, WHICH CAUSED SPARK AND A PART OF THE CUTTING WIRE BECAME EXTREMELY HOT, RESULTING IN BREAKAGE. THE COATING BROKE OFF AND CAME OFF FROM THE CUTTING WIRE BECAUSE OF THE USER HANDLING AFTER THE CUTTING WIRE WAS BROKEN. THIS REPORT IS BEING SUBMITTED AS A MEDICAL DEVICE REPORT IN AN ABUNDANCE OF CAUTION.
