Olympus recalls Single Use Repositionable Clip QUICKCLIP PRO 165 CM 10/BX- due to deployment issues during GI procedures that may cause clips to fail or detach, risking patient harm.
Complaints on clip deployment occurring during clinical procedures, leading to hazardous situations where clips fail to achieve their expected function or deploy incorrectly, potentially causing harms to patients. The complaints include reports that: 1) the clip arm does not open when the user pushes the slider, 2) the clip arm does not close when the user pulls the slider and 3) the clip detaches from the target tissue earlier than expected, after being deployed in a procedure.
Olympus is recalling its QUICKCLIP PRO 165 CM 10/BX- GI clips because they sometimes fail to deploy correctly during medical procedures, which could lead to patient injuries. This affects clips used in gastrointestinal treatments.
The clips may not open, close, or stay attached properly during deployment. This can cause them to detach from tissue prematurely, potentially leading to patient injuries during medical procedures.
Healthcare professionals using the QUICKCLIP PRO 165 CM 10/BX- clips for gastrointestinal procedures are most at risk. Patients undergoing these procedures may experience complications if the clips malfunction.
Check for the catalog number HX-202LR.A and lot numbers 24K, 27K, 29K, 2XK, or 2YK on the product packaging. The clips are intended for use in gastrointestinal procedures.
