Olympus recalls QUICKCLIP PRO hemostatic clips nationwide due to reported malfunction during clinical procedures, where clips fail to open, close, or detach from tissue as intended.

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 documented complaints of device malfunction during clinical use. While no hospitalization or injury reports are mentioned in the source, the risk-of-harm potential in a procedural medical device where failures occurred during patient procedures warrants a High severity rating.

Plain-English summary

Olympus Corporation of the Americas is recalling QUICKCLIP PRO 230CM hemostatic metal clips used for gastrointestinal procedures. The recall affects 3,795 units distributed nationwide across the United States.

The recall was initiated due to reported clip deployment failures during clinical procedures. The FDA received complaints documenting three types of malfunction: clips that fail to open when the user activates the deployment mechanism, clips that fail to close properly, and clips that detach from the target tissue earlier than expected after being placed in the procedure. These mechanical failures could prevent the device from functioning as intended and potentially cause patient harm.
