Olympus distal attachment and disposable emr kit
Official notice

Last checked
31 Aug 2023
An official Health Canada notice concerns Olympus distal attachment and disposable emr kit. Devices contain di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP). Olympus has previously announced on the labeling that the product contains DEHP. Since Olympus has confirmed that alternative products can be provided, Olympus has decided to ask customers to cease using the subject products and to further remove them. In general, potential patient harms associated with the use of plastic products containing DEHP include: chemical exposure, hypersensitivity/allergic reaction, endocrine disruption, reproductive and developmental toxicity and carcinogenicity. Long term DEHP toxicity may occur if a distal attachment inadvertently becomes a retained foreign body with resultant leaching over time. Olympus has not received any reports of these harms occurring from the use of our products. Recall start date: August 17, 2023 Published 2023-08-31.
