Plain-English summary
Olympus Corporation of the Americas is recalling its Single Use Repositionable Clip QUICKCLIP PRO 230 CM 10/BX, a hemostatic metal clip intended for use in gastrointestinal tract procedures. The recall affects 13,707 units distributed nationwide, with lot numbers 24K, 25K, 26K, 27K, 28K, 29K, 2XK, 2YK, and 2ZK (Catalog Number HX-202UR.A).
The recall was initiated due to complaints of clip deployment failures during clinical procedures. Reported issues include: the clip arm failing to open when the user pushes the slider; the clip arm failing to close when the user pulls the slider; and the clip detaching from target tissue earlier than expected after deployment. These malfunctions create hazardous situations where the clips fail to achieve their intended hemostatic function and may cause harm to patients.
Healthcare providers using these clips in gastrointestinal endoscopy procedures should be aware of these potential failures. If any of these deployment issues occur during a procedure, clinicians should take appropriate measures to address the situation and patient safety.
Healthcare providers should report any adverse events or malfunctions to Olympus Corporation and the FDA MedWatch program.
