Plain-English summary
Olympus Corporation of the Americas is recalling 340 units of the QUICKCLIP PRO 165 CM hemostatic clip (catalog number HX-202LR.A). This is a single-use device designed to control bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract during endoscopic procedures. The affected lot numbers are 24K, 27K, 29K, 2XK, and 2YK, distributed nationwide in the United States.
The recall was initiated due to reports of clip deployment failures occurring during clinical procedures. Complaints indicate that the clip arm does not open when the user pushes the slider, does not close when the user pulls the slider, and may detach from target tissue earlier than expected after deployment. These failures prevent the clips from achieving their intended hemostatic function, creating hazardous situations where the device does not work as expected.
This recall affects patients who underwent gastrointestinal endoscopy procedures using clips from the affected lot numbers.
