What happened

Olympus has initiated a Class II recall to replace the previous design of the Single Use Distal Cover (Model MAJ-2315) with a newly designed version for use with the EVIS EXERA III Duodenovideoscope TJF-Q190V.

Who it affects

Olympus Corporation of the Americas and healthcare facilities utilizing the EVIS EXERA III Duodenovideoscope TJF-Q190V and associated single-use distal covers.

Why it matters

The replacement of a distal cover design suggests a proactive measure to address potential performance or safety issues associated with the previous iteration. This update likely impacts reprocessing protocols or distal end protection, requiring clinical and facilities teams to ensure older stock is phased out in favor of the redesigned component.

Practical takeaway

Facilities using the TJF-Q190V should verify inventory against catalog number MAJ-2315 and transition to the newly designed version as indicated by the manufacturer. Regulatory teams should document the replacement process within their post-market surveillance or CAPA systems.
