Olympus OER-ELITE Endoscope Reprocessor Connecting Tubes Recall
Olympus Corporation of the Americas is recalling OER-ELITE Endoscope Reprocessor Connecting Tubes (Model MAJ-2116) because the Version 2 reprocessor connecting tube lock levers may fail prematurely.
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 of a medical device where a mechanical failure (lock lever failure) poses a risk of harm if the connecting tubes disconnect during endoscope reprocessing, which could compromise infection control. No illnesses or injuries are reported in the source text, but the nature of the defect and the critical context of use (sterilization/reprocessing equipment) indicate potential for serious patient harm.
