Olympus Corporation of the Americas has recalled 143,245 medical device components because the MAJ-1443 suction valves and MAJ-1444 air/water valves are no longer compatible with the OER-Pro and OER-Elite automated endoscope reprocessors. This incompatibility means the valves may not be properly cleaned and disinfected between uses. The recall affects four specific models of valves and reprocessors distributed nationwide.
Reprocessing incompatibility can lead to ineffective sterilization of the valves. If these components are not properly disinfected, there is a risk of cross-contamination and the spread of infections between patients during endoscopic procedures.
