Olympus recalls specific colon video scopes (PCF-H190DL) due to potential image loss and suction issues that could delay treatment or cause infections. Affected units have unique serial numbers.
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.
