Olympus SPiN Thoracic Navigation System Models Recalled for EMC Non-Conformance

Olympus is recalling SPiN Thoracic Navigation System and related models due to manufacturing non-conformances and insufficient electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) evidence. The devices may malfunction in certain electrical environments.

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 recall without reported illnesses or injuries. The EMC non-conformances and manufacturing defects create a risk of device malfunction during surgical guidance, meeting the rubric criterion for High severity where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Olympus Corporation of the Americas is recalling multiple models of the SPiN Thoracic Navigation System and related navigation instruments, including the ig4 Image Guided System and SPiN Planning Laptop Workstation. The recall affects 226 units distributed worldwide, including the United States and internationally in China, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, South Korea, Singapore, Thailand, and Taiwan.

The devices are being recalled due to non-conformances in manufacturing that do not meet design requirements, combined with insufficient evidence to demonstrate adequate electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). EMC is the ability of electrical equipment to function acceptably without interference and to not interfere with other devices in its operating environment. These deficiencies could affect the device's ability to function reliably during thoracic surgical guidance procedures.

No illnesses or injuries have been reported to date. Affected healthcare facilities should cease use of these systems and contact Olympus Corporation of the Americas for instructions regarding replacement, repair, or return of the affected equipment.
