Olympus Bronchovidescope BF-1T240 Recalled Due to Instrument Channel Port Loosening
Olympus is recalling 1,605 Bronchovidescope BF-1T240 units because attaching non-Olympus accessories may have loosened the instrument channel port.
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, which typically indicates a situation where use of the product may cause temporary or medically reversible health consequences. No specific injuries or illnesses are reported in the source text, and the hazard is a mechanical defect (loosening) rather than a direct biological or electrical safety failure.
Plain-English summary
Olympus Corporation of the Americas is recalling 1,605 units of the Bronchovidescope BF-1T240. The recall covers all lot codes and includes products distributed nationwide in the United States and in Canada.
The recall was initiated because the attachment of non-Olympus accessories to the bronchoscope's instrument channel port may have resulted in more applied force than expected. This excessive force may have led to the loosening of the instrument channel port.
