Olympus Corporation of the Americas is recalling 265 specific colonovideoscopes that were repaired and returned to customers without a necessary protective adhesive. These medical devices, including models like the CF-H180AL, CF-HQ190L, and PCF-H190DL, are used by healthcare professionals for internal colon examinations. The missing adhesive was intended to protect the internal components of the scopes from physical stress during use and transport. Olympus is initiating this voluntary recall to ensure the devices are properly re-assembled with the required adhesive to prevent potential equipment failure.
Without the protective adhesive, the internal components of the colonoscopes are vulnerable to damage from high vibration, temperature fluctuations, or physical shocks. This can lead to device malfunction or failure during a medical procedure, which could potentially result in injury to the patient or a delay in treatment.
