G4: THIS DEVICE IS NOT DISTRIBUTED IN US SO THAT 510K# IS BLANK. D4 UDI: "NOT DISTRIBUTED IN USA", BECAUSE PRODUCTS ARE NOT DISTRIBUTED IN USA PRODUCTS, BUT SIMILAR DEVICE PRODUCT ARE LISTED IN USA. THE PRODUCT WAS RETURNED TO PENTAX MEDICAL FOR REPAIR. OUR TECHNICIAN CHECKED THE RETURNED UNIT AND CONFIRMED THAT THE CFB (COHERENT FIBER BUNDLE) BROKEN.
