Letter states reason for recall, health risk and action to take:\nOur records indicate that Olympus has serviced your flexible endoscope at one of our Olympus repair facilities. Following repair activities, Olympus uses a water flush of endoscope channels as part of our final endoscope channel inspection, and we subsequently dry the endoscope channels with compressed filtered air. Olympus discovered that our channel air drying process was not validated, and that a small percentage of scopes returned to customers after repair had a wet channel. Olympus is in the process of implementing a validated drying process at our repair centers. In the meantime, Olympus has established interim processes to perform an additional inspection of your scope for water prior to return.\n\n1.
