Olympus Recalls Select EndoEye HD II Endoscopes Over Heat Issue
Olympus (TYO:7733) said today it is initiating a select recall of its EndoEye HD II endoscopes over issues with damaged temperature sensors causing the distal ends of the device to become ‘abnormally hot’.
The devices are used during endoscopy and endoscopic surgeries along with other tools within the thoracic and abdominal cavities, including the female reproductive organs, the company said.
Olympus said it has not received any reports of injuries from the malfunction, but that the malfunction could result in patient or user injury if not corrected.
