Description

Gastroscope-endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) guided fine needle aspiration (FNA) and for endoscopic surgery within the upper digestive tract. Model Numbers: GF-UC140P-AL5, GF-UCT180, GF-UE160-AL5.

Reason

Channel air drying process was not validated, and that a small percentage of scopes returned to customers after repair had a wet channel. Water remaining in the channel of the endoscopes has the potential for contamination that could lead to the risk of infection
