What the record says
- Product
- The Air/Water Valve is provided/used with the following Endoscopes: ULTRASONIC GASTROFIBERSCOPE, ULTRASONIC GASTROVIDEOSCOPE, ULTRASONIC COLONOVIDEOSCOPE: GF-UC140P-AL5, GF-UCT140-AL5, GF-UE160-AL5, GF-UCT180, GF-UM20, GF-UM130, GF-UMQ130, GF-UM160, GF-UC160P-OL5, GF-UCT160-OL5
- Reason
- The air/water valve MAJ-1444 used with OER-Pro and OER-Elite may become damaged and result in loss of the one-way valve functionality by repeated automated endoscope reprocessing in Olympus OER machines, causing body fluid could backflow into the air/water channel of the ultrasonic endoscopes during the procedure.
