Olympus is notifying customers about specific safety warnings, cautions, and updated maintenance schedules for several models of endoscope reprocessors, including the OER-Elite, OER-Pro, and OER-Mini. Approximately 6,578 units are affected by this voluntary recall, which emphasizes that only properly trained personnel should perform repairs and maintenance on these devices. These reprocessors are used in clinical settings to clean and disinfect medical endoscopes between patient uses.
Failure to follow the manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedules or allowing untrained personnel to perform repairs can result in device malfunction.
