Medline recalls specific bronchoscopy kits containing Olympus biopsy valves after reports of rubber fragments detaching, potentially causing foreign body in airways, inflammation, or hypoxia during procedures.
Kits contain recalled Olympus biopsy valves. Olympus is investigating an increase in complaints associated with rubber fragment detachment in the slit of single use biopsy valves. Potential consequences associated with detachment of fragments from valve include foreign body in patient's tracheobronchial tree, which may require intervention for removal. Other potential consequences include inflammatory response, hypoxia, and prolongation of procedure.
Medline is recalling bronchoscopy kits that include Olympus biopsy valves due to reports of rubber fragments detaching from the valves. This could lead to foreign objects in the airways, inflammation, or low oxygen levels during procedures.
The biopsy valves contain rubber that can detach, potentially causing small fragments to enter the airways. This may lead to foreign body reactions, inflammation, or low oxygen levels during medical procedures.
