Olympus recalls certain endoscopic injectors due to potential inadequate sterile packaging, which could lead to patient infections. Affected models include NM-400Y-0423 with specific serial numbers. Consumers should check their product details.
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.
