Reason for recall
Kits contain recalled Olympus biopsy valves. Olympus is investigating an increase in complaints associated with rubber fragment detachment in the slit of single use biopsy valves. Potential consequences associated with detachment of fragments from valve include foreign body in patient's tracheobronchial tree, which may require intervention for removal. Other potential consequences include inflammatory response, hypoxia, and prolongation of procedure.
FDA-determined cause: Under Investigation by firm
Action taken
Firm notified customers on 2/16/26. Consignees were provided with a copy of Olympus's notification, which includes reminders to follow the IFU. According to the firm, the component can continue to be utilized by the customer, along with the remainder of the kit.
