Fujifilm EPX 2500 Operation Manual Recalled for Incorrect Endoscope Specifications

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: This is a Class II recall involving minor labeling errors in documentation that do not pose a direct risk of serious injury or death, fitting the criteria for moderate severity.

Plain-English summary

Fujifilm Medical Systems U.S.A., Inc. is recalling 60 copies of the Fujinon/Fujifilm Processor EPX 2500 Operation Manual and sales brochures. The recall covers specific part numbers (202B1230408A through 202B1230408E) distributed nationwide in the US and Canada.

The recall is due to a labeling error in the documentation. The manuals and brochures incorrectly state that the ED-530XT endoscope, when used with the EPX-2500 Processor, displays a "super image." In reality, the device displays a "standard image." This mislabeling could lead to incorrect expectations regarding the equipment's performance.

Healthcare facilities and consumers who possess these specific manuals or brochures should stop using them for reference regarding the ED-530XT endoscope's image capabilities. Fujifilm is the recalling firm responsible for this Class II recall.
