Endoscopic Dilation Balloon Mislabeled with Incorrect Size Information
Olympus EZDilate Wire Guided Balloons with Lot 408987 have mislabeled sizing information. The device label states 11 mm, 12 mm, and 13 mm, but actual balloon sizes are 8.5 mm, 9.5 mm, and 10.5 mm, which may result in prolonged surgery.
What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: This is a Class II FDA recall involving mislabeling of critical device specifications. Although no illnesses or injuries have been reported, the incorrect sizing information poses a risk of harm through inadequate dilation or procedural complications, fitting the 'risk-of-harm where injury has not yet been reported' criterion.
