Olympus is recalling URF-P6 ureterorenal fiberscopes because faulty adhesive might cause blurred vision and, in rare cases, urinary tract perforation. This affects medical devices used during procedures.
The fiberscope's diopter ring and nameplate ring are secured with incorrect adhesive. This can cause the rings to become improperly connected, leading to loss of adjustment function. As a result, the device may produce blurred vision and cause unintended contact with the patient's body, potentially perforating the urinary tract or renal pelvis in rare cases.
Medical professionals using Olympus URF-P6 fiberscopes for urological procedures are most at risk. Patients undergoing these procedures could experience complications if the device malfunctions.
