  • Causa
    Olympus worked with the us food and drug administration (fda) to mitigate the risk of infection following endoscopic ercp procedures that used the tjf-q180v. the fda was concerned about the potential leakage of a patient's fluids or materials through the sealing mechanism, the tweezer lift, and asked olympus to tighten the mechanism. since the launch of the product in question in may 2010, there has been no reported case of an infection occurring after an ercp using the tjf-q180v, due to o-ring leakage from the tweezers lift. however, olympus made the following design upgrades related to the tweezer lift sealing mechanism in order to reduce the chances of a potential leak: a) narrowed dimensional tolerances of the mechanical parts related to the sealing mechanism. b) narrowed dimensional tolerances and hardness for the o-rings. then, the fda approved the "design" changes above. in addition, through communications with the fda, olympus has decided to do so. mainly, the following labeling changes: 1) return the tjf-q180v to an annual inspection of the damaged sealing mechanism at olympus; 2) conduct pre-cleaning and manual cleaning on the tjf-q180v, as instructed in the tjf-q180v reprocessing manual, even when using the endoscopes automatic reprocessor ("aer"), which has instructions that may indicate that the user could fail to perform a few steps in the pre-cleaning and manual cleaning of the endoscopes; 3) the new reprocessing manual is providing instructions for using the new cleaning brush to remove impurities from the elevator recess area.
