Data from FDA, USDA, CPSC, and NHTSA public records. Recall counts vary by company size, industry, and reporting practices. Always check official sources for current information.
Affected products may potentially have a breached sterile pouch seal. A breached sterile pouch seal may lead to minor procedure delays (if noticed prior to use) or patient infections (if not noticed prior to use in patient).
The strippers and cleavers are provided non-sterile and labelled as reusable/autoclavable. Olympus does not have validated cleaning and sterilization instructions. Use of a non-sterile fiber stripper or cleaver on a sterile fiber poses a risk of contamination.
Olympus identified inconsistencies in the Instructions for Use regarding cleaning the fiber tip and fiber cleaving and stripping instructions. Following the current instructions presents the potential for the fiber to break during use, which may cause burns, procedure delays, prolonged surgery, and foreign body in patient.
