Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Olympus Corporation of the Americas has recalled 279 units of the Olympus Electrosurgical Generator, Model ESG-410 (SEP) Version WA91327U. The recall was initiated following an increase in complaints regarding a system error labeled 'E1226' which indicates the device could not write to its audio buffer during surgical procedures. If this error occurs during surgery, the device may stop functioning as intended, potentially requiring the medical team to switch to backup equipment or delay the procedure. Consumers should contact their healthcare provider or the manufacturer for further instructions regarding this equipment.

Risk

The system error E1226 disrupts the device's ability to process audio signals and function correctly during electrosurgical procedures. This failure could lead to an unexpected interruption or cessation of the surgical tool's power, potentially extending the duration of surgery or causing unintended tissue damage if the device fails at a critical moment.
