Cook Inc. Recalls OptiLite Multi-Use Holmium Laser Fibers Due to Reprocessing Instructions

Cook Inc. is voluntarily recalling OptiLite Multi-Use Holmium Laser Fibers because the reprocessing instructions lack sufficient detail for proper cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, but the source text explicitly states no illnesses or injuries have been reported. The hazard is a documentation issue regarding reprocessing instructions, which fits the criteria for a moderate severity score involving minor labeling or documentation errors.

Plain-English summary

Cook Inc. is initiating a voluntary recall of the OptiLite Multi-Use Holmium Laser Fibers. These devices are supplied sterilized by ethylene oxide gas in peel-open packages and are used with the Odyssey 30 Holmium Laser System for the fragmentation of urinary calculi and soft tissue applications, including incision, excision, ablation, and coagulation.

The recall was initiated because it was identified that the reprocessing instructions do not provide sufficiently detailed information for the cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization of these products. The source text does not report any specific illnesses, injuries, or deaths associated with this recall.

The affected units were distributed worldwide, including nationwide in the United States and in various foreign countries. The source text does not provide specific instructions for consumers or healthcare providers on how to handle the recalled units beyond the initiation of the recall.
