(Bloomberg) -- Olympus Corp.’s U.S. unit was sued by a Los Angeles hospital patient over contaminated endoscopes in what may the first lawsuit following a fatal “superbug” outbreak linked to the devices.
The complaint by a Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center patient was filed less than a week after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued a general health warning over the use of the medical technology.
Endoscopes, used to look inside the body, have been linked to an outbreak of drug-resistant bacteria that’s killed at least two people at the University of California at Los Angeles hospital.
