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: FDA Class II medical device recall with reported functional failure that poses a risk of harm during endoscopic procedures. No illnesses or injuries have been reported to date, placing this in the 'risk-of-harm' category where injury has not yet been realized.

Plain-English summary

Olympus Corporation of the Americas is recalling three models of single-use rotatable clip fixing devices: Models HX-201LR-135 (165cm), HX-201UR-135 (230cm), and HX-201UR-135L (230cm with long clip). These devices are used in endoscopic procedures and contain a rotatable clip designed to fix within a 2.8mm scope channel. Approximately 373 devices in 65.9 boxes were distributed nationwide in the United States.

Complaints have been received indicating that the clip did not come out of the tube sheath during procedures. This functional failure could impede the intended use of the device and affect patient care during endoscopic procedures.

Affected lot numbers are 1ZV (Model HX-201LR-135), 23V (Models HX-201UR-135), and 24V (Models HX-201UR-135 and HX-201UR-135L). Healthcare facilities and providers who have these devices should verify they do not have affected lots and should contact Olympus Corporation of the Americas for further guidance on the recall.
