Description

GIF-HQ190, EVIS EXERA III GASTROINTESTINAL VIDEOSCOPE

Reason

Specific devices may have an improperly repaired light guide connector due to missing adhesive to secure the suction channel mouthpiece to the scope connector. Issue may result in loss of image, decreased suction, or impact the ability to effectively reprocess the device. This in turn may lead to unanticipated delay to treatment, or patient exposure to contaminated material and subsequent infection.

Action

On October 16, 2023, the firm notified affected customers through URGENT MEDICAL DEVICE REMOVAL letters. Customers were instructed to inspect their inventory and identify affected devices. Affected devices should be quarantined and not used. Olympus Customer Solutions will contact customers by phone and email to arrange the return and repair of the affected product. If you require additional information, please do not hesitate to contact Olympus at 647-999-3203 or [email protected].
