Medivators recalls Endo Smartcap Endoscope Tubing (REF100145CO2) due to potential inadequate insufflation, air bubbles, or water leaks during endoscopic procedures. Affected units include specific packaging and endoscope models.
Medivators is recalling Endo SmartCap Tubing due to a manufacturing anomaly that may present during procedures as inadequate insufflation, presence of air bubbles inside the endo smartcap tubing, insufficient water to rinse the endoscope lens, or water leaking from the air/water valve.
Medivators is recalling Endo Smartcap Endoscope Tubing because a manufacturing issue might cause problems during procedures, like not enough air pressure, air bubbles, or water leaks. This could affect the safety and effectiveness of endoscopic surgeries.
The tubing may not provide enough air pressure during procedures, leading to air bubbles forming inside the tubing or water leaking from the air/water valve. This can cause inadequate rinsing of the endoscope lens and disrupt the procedure.
Medical professionals using the tubing with Olympus endoscopes are most at risk. Patients undergoing endoscopic procedures with this tubing could experience complications.
