Reason for recall

Pentax is initiating the product correction of several model numbers of Pentax's Colonoscope that were shipped between the clearance date of April 2014 and September 2015 because they contain the operation and reprocessing IFU's that were in use prior to the 2014 clearances and therefore did not include the cleared operation IFU, the updated reprocessing IFU or the dedicated reprocessing adaptor (for applicable models).

FDA-determined cause: Other

Action taken

Pentax sent as "Urgent Field Correction" and Field Correction Response Form dated August 15, 2016 to their affected customers.
