Plain-English summary
Olympus Corporation of the Americas is recalling 1,072 units of Bronchovideoscope, Models BF-MP160F, BF-XP160F, and BF-XP60, distributed nationwide. A bronchovideoscope is a medical endoscope used during bronchoscopy procedures to visualize the lungs and airways.
The recalled devices can become lodged in the endotracheal tube connector because the endoscope diameter is too large. This creates a risk of device entrapment during bronchoscopy procedures.
Healthcare facilities using these models should contact their Olympus service representative for further instructions.
