Olympus Corporation Of The Americas recalls Olympus EVIS EXERA III Duodenovideoscope. Model Number: TJF-Q190V

Recent post-market surveillance data suggests a possible association of higher microbial contamination levels from TJF duodenoscopes when manual cleaning was delayed beyond one hour and a presoak was performed, compared to those TJF duodenoscopes where manual cleaning began within one hour after patient procedure.
