FDA (Devices) recall action 93222
The FDA (Devices) publishes a recall like this one as 22 separate product records. They share a firm, a date and a cause; this page is all of them in one place, so the scale of the action is visible rather than spread across 22 pages.
Channel air drying process was not validated, and that a small percentage of scopes returned to customers after repair had a wet channel. Water remaining in the channel of the endoscopes has the potential for contamination that could lead to the risk of infection
The agency’s own wording, quoted from the enforcement report.
The unit total adds up the quantities the agency stated for each product. Where a product record gave no figure, or gave a weight rather than a count, it contributes nothing — so the real total is at least this, never less.
Aizu Olympus is recalling cystonephroscope endoscopes due to an unvalidated air drying process that allowed water to remain in instrument channels. Retained moisture poses a risk of contamination and infection.
Aizu Olympus is recalling ultrasonic gastrovideoscopes due to an unvalidated channel drying process that left some scopes with water in the channels after repair. Water remaining in the device poses a risk of contamination and infection.
Aizu Olympus Co., Ltd. is recalling duodenovideoscope models due to an unvalidated channel air drying process. Water remaining in the channels after repair poses a potential contamination risk that could lead to infection.
Aizu Olympus is recalling 65 tracheal fiberscope units worldwide due to an unvalidated air drying process. Moisture remaining in device channels after repair could allow contamination and pose an infection risk.
Aizu Olympus is recalling 61 tracheal videoscopes (Model LF-V) due to an unvalidated air drying process that left water in channels after repair. Water in the endoscope channels may become contaminated and pose an infection risk.
Aizu Olympus is recalling 3,627 gastrointestinal videoscopes because the channel air drying process was not validated. A small percentage of devices returned after repair had wet channels, creating potential for contamination and risk of infection.
Aizu Olympus has recalled 33 Mobile Airway Scope units due to an unvalidated air drying process. Some repaired units had wet channels, creating a potential risk of contamination and infection.
Aizu Olympus recalls bronchoscopes due to unvalidated air drying process. Some returned units after repair contain water in channels, creating infection risk.
Aizu Olympus colonoscopes are being recalled because the air drying process for the instrument channel was not properly validated. Some units returned after repair had moisture in the channel, creating a risk of contamination and infection.
Aizu Olympus choleodochoscopes with unvalidated air drying processes may retain water in the channel after repair, risking microbial contamination and patient infection. Affected models: CHF-BP30, CHF-CB30L, CHF-P60.
Aizu Olympus is recalling 823 ultrasonic bronchoscopes (models BF-UC180F, BF-UC190F) because the channel air drying process was not validated, and some repaired units retained water that could cause contamination and infection.
Aizu Olympus sigmoidovideoscope (model PCF-S) units are being recalled due to an unvalidated channel drying process. Some repaired units returned with water in channels, risking contamination and infection.
Aizu Olympus recalls 680 gastroscope-EUS devices due to unvalidated channel drying. Water remaining in the channels poses contamination and infection risks.
Aizu Olympus rhinolaryngoscopes (models ENF-T3, ENF-VT2, ENF-VT3) are recalled. The air-drying process for the instrument channel was not validated, and water remaining in some devices after repair poses contamination and infection risk.
Aizu Olympus is recalling 1577 ureteralscope units due to an unvalidated channel air drying process that left some units with residual water after repair, creating a contamination and infection risk.
Aizu Olympus is recalling the Transnasal Esophagovideoscope (Model PEF-V) because the channel air drying process was not validated, resulting in some units with wet channels that could cause infection.
Aizu Olympus is recalling Hysterovideoscope Model HYF-V units (27 devices) because the channel air drying process was not validated. Water remaining in device channels could pose an infection risk.
Aizu Olympus is recalling HYF-XP hysterofiberscopes because the channel air drying process was not validated. Some repaired units have wet channels that could harbor contamination and pose infection risk.
Aizu Olympus is recalling small intestinal videoscopes (Model SIF-Q180) because the channel air drying process was not properly validated. Water remaining in the channels could cause contamination and infection risk.
Aizu Olympus is recalling certain colonoscope models because the channel air drying process was not validated. A small percentage of repaired units had water remaining in the channel, which could lead to infection risk.
Aizu Olympus is recalling Hysteroscope Model HYF-1T devices because the channel air drying process after repair was not validated. Some returned units had residual moisture that could allow contamination and infection.
Aizu Olympus is recalling uretero-reno fiberscopes because the channel air drying process was not validated. A small percentage of repaired devices had residual water in the channels, creating a risk of contamination and infection.
