Olympus Corporation of the Americas is recalling 633 units of the Olympus Cystoscope Outer Sheath (Model WA22810A) because it is incompatible with the GreenLight Laser used for BPH (enlarged prostate) therapy. Using these devices together can cause the tip of the cystoscope to become damaged during a procedure. Olympus is removing these products from service to prevent potential patient harm or device failure during surgery.
The incompatibility between the sheath and the laser can damage the device's tip while it is inside a patient, potentially leading to surgical delays, the presence of device fragments in the body, or injury to the urinary tract.
Recalled due to incompatibility when used in conjunction with a GreenLight Laser for BPH therapy.
