Olympus recalls Rhinolaryngoscope models ENF-T3, ENF-VT2, and ENF-VT3 due to potential water contamination in the channel after repair, which could lead to infection. Affected users should contact Olympus for details.
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
Olympus is recalling specific rhinolaryngoscope models because water in the channel after repair could cause infections. This is a safety issue for medical users who might have the affected models.
The channel air drying process wasn't validated, so some scopes returned after repair had water left inside. This water could lead to contamination and infection if the device is used without proper cleaning.
Medical professionals using the recalled rhinolaryngoscope models for nasal and airway procedures are most at risk. Patients using these devices could also face infection risks if the device is not properly maintained.
Check for model numbers ENF-T3, ENF-VT2, or ENF-VT3 on the device. The specific UDI-DI numbers listed in the recall are also indicators of affected units.
