Olympus recalls Airway Mobilescope models MAF-GM & MAF-TM due to risk of endoscope becoming lodged in endotracheal tube connectors. Affected units have specific serial numbers and UDI-DI codes.
Complaint of endoscope model becoming lodged in the endotracheal tube connector due to diameter being too large.
Olympus is recalling two airway mobilescope models because the endoscope can get stuck in the endotracheal tube connector. This could cause breathing problems during medical procedures. The recall affects specific models with known serial numbers and UDI-DI codes.
The endoscope's diameter is too large for the endotracheal tube connector, which can cause it to become lodged. This may block the airway during medical procedures, potentially leading to breathing difficulties or other complications.
Healthcare professionals using the Olympus Airway Mobilescope models MAF-GM and MAF-TM are most at risk. Patients receiving care with these devices could be affected if the endoscope becomes lodged.
Check for the model numbers MAF-GM or MAF-TM on the device. Affected units have specific serial numbers and UDI-DI codes listed in the recall notice.
Identify the model number on the device to see if it is MAF-GM or MAF-TM.
