Complaint of endoscope model becoming lodged in the endotracheal tube connector due to diameter being too large.
Olympus is recalling two bronchovideoscope models (BF-P190 and BF-XP190) because the device's diameter may cause it to become lodged in the endotracheal tube connector. This could lead to breathing difficulties for patients during medical procedures.
The bronchovideoscope's diameter is too large for the endotracheal tube connector, which can cause the device to become lodged. This may block the airway and lead to breathing difficulties during medical procedures.
Healthcare professionals using these bronchovideoscopes in medical settings are most at risk. Patients receiving procedures with these devices may also be affected if the scope becomes lodged.
Check for the model numbers BF-P190 or BF-XP190 on the device. Affected units have specific serial numbers and UDI-DI codes listed in the recall notice.
