What happened

Karl Storz is recalling two models of flexible video cysto-urethroscopes: the 11272VUE/11272VUEK and the 11272VUE-R/11272VUEK-R (version 1.1 from April 2021). The devices fail to achieve the expected six-log reduction in microorganisms during the disinfection process, meaning they may not be adequately disinfected for patient use. All serial numbers of these devices manufactured or distributed since January 2018 are affected.

The recalled devices were distributed throughout the United States (including all 50 states, Washington D.C., and Guam), as well as in Mexico, Lebanon, and South Korea. The recall record does not specify a remedy or recommended action for consumers who possess these devices.
