FDA (Devices) recall action 98674

Devices providing sterile water/CO2/air to endoscopes were manufactured with a distal irrigation segment connector configuration that may be more susceptible to unintended water flow from distal tip under unsupported third-party connector use conditions, which may lead to water aspiration, which may progress to aspiration pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome, or respiratory failure.
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.
