    Reason

    Updated sterilization instructions are being provided to ensure 1) a specific sterilization tray is not used, and 2) ethylene oxide sterilization is never used on certain reusable flexible intubation endoscopes with total lumen lengths greater than 850mm. Incompletely sterilized endoscopes might introduce infectious agents into patient airways, resulting in infection.
