Olympus recalls certain INJECTOR FORCEMAX SIF 270CM 23G 4MM endoscopic injection devices due to potential inadequate package seals that could lead to infections if non-sterile equipment is used.
Inspection confirmed a small percentage of sterile packages with inadequate package seal (partial heat seal). Patients may develop infections if non-sterile equipment is used.
Olympus is recalling some endoscopic injection devices because a small percentage of sterile packages have inadequate seals. This could lead to infections if non-sterile equipment is used during medical procedures.
The sterile packages may have partial heat seals, meaning they are not properly sealed. If the package is not sterile, medical procedures could lead to infections for patients.
Healthcare professionals using the INJECTOR FORCEMAX SIF 270CM devices for endoscopic procedures may be affected. Patients at risk are those receiving treatments with these devices.
Check for the model number NM-401L-0423 on the device. These devices were sold with specific batch codes: 01K through 09ZK and 05V through 09V.
Inspect the sterile package for adequate sealing; if the seal appears damaged or incomplete, do not use the device.
