Ongoing investigations identified additional instances of the device Generator remaining in a blinking phase waiting to recognize the transducer. Damage to the transducer plug and/or generator receptacle may cause these issues.

Mis-wired component-the improperly wired component can result in additional noise on the power supply output. Noise on the ultrasonic input circuit is not consistent with electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) standards and may decrease the overall reliability of the system and result in delay of treatment. It was discovered that additional serial numbers of ShockPulse generators may also have the mis-wired component. As a result, this is expanding the action to the additional impacted devices.

Product being removed due to incompatibility when used in conjunction with a GreenLight Laser for BPH therapy which could damage the tip of the device.
Potential that the ligation loop was unable to release or detach as expected during use, causing the loop to become unintentionally fixed around patient anatomy.
Continued reports of positive cultures and infections have identified updates to the reprocessing materials to minimize potential deviations in TJF duodenoscope reprocessing. Olympus is informing users of these changes, reminding users to closely follow the operation and reprocessing instructions, and providing updated materials to users.
