What the authority reported
Olympus is taking this medical device recall action after a review of reprocessing instructions for the Fiber Strippers and Cleavers. Both the strippers and cleavers are provided non-sterile and labelled as reusable/autoclavable. Olympus does not have validated cleaning and sterilization instructions. Use of a non-sterile fiber stripper or cleaver on a sterile fiber poses a risk of contamination. Recall Start Date: December 11, 2023
What to do
Follow the instructions in the official notice — recall remedies (refund, repair, replacement, or disposal) are defined by the issuing authority and the responsible business, and they differ per recall. Do not rely on summaries, including this one.
