The FDA last week said it cleared Fujifilm Holdings‘ (TSE:4901) revised manual reprocessing instructions for its ED-530XT duodenoscope, replacing reprocessing instructions included on the original device label.
Duodenoscopes are used for a procedure called endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, in which a reusable tube-like camera is inserted into the throat of a patient. More than 500,000 ERCPs using the devices are performed in the U.S. annually.
