Fujifilm Medical Systems Recalls Duodenoscopes for Reprocessing Design Changes
Fujifilm Medical Systems is recalling specific duodenoscope models as a precautionary measure because the devices have been redesigned to incorporate a closed elevator wire channel that facilitates reprocessing.
What this means for you
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The source text explicitly describes the recall as a 'precautionary measure' and does not report any illnesses, injuries, or deaths, which aligns with the rubric criteria for a Moderate severity score (voluntary precautionary recalls).
