Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Olympus Corporation of the Americas is recalling 1,532 units of Soltive Premium and Soltive Pro SuperPulsed Laser Systems because of a software translation error. On the system's screen, the term "Bladder Stone" was incorrectly translated into Spanish and Portuguese as "Kidney Stone" (Cálculo renal). No incidents or injuries have been reported, but the firm has initiated this voluntary recall to correct the display error.

Risk

The translation error could lead a medical professional to select the wrong setting, potentially delivering an incorrect or unintended amount of laser energy to the patient's anatomy during a procedure.
