Olympus recalls certain INJECTOR FORCEMAX UP 2MM CH 23G 3MM endoscopic injectors due to potential inadequate package seals that could lead to infections. Affected models include NM-401L-0523 with serial numbers 01K-09ZK.
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 a specific endoscopic injector model because some sterile packages have inadequate seals. This could lead to infections if the injector is used without proper sterility.
The sterile packaging may have partial heat seals, meaning the seal isn't fully closed. If the packaging isn't sealed properly, the injector could become non-sterile, increasing the risk of infections during medical procedures.
