Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Karl Storz is recalling multiple models of flexible ureteroscopes distributed throughout the United States, Guam, Mexico, Lebanon, and South Korea. The recall affects all serial numbers manufactured or distributed since January 2018 for the following models: 11278A2, 11278AK2, 11278AC1, 11278AC2, 11278ACK2, 11278ACU1, 11278ACUK1, 11278AU1, and 11278AUK1. The recalled devices have identification codes that can be verified through the UDI numbers listed in the recall details.
The reason for the recall is that these flexible ureteroscopes fail to achieve the expected six-log reduction in microorganisms following the disinfection process, meaning they may not be properly sterilized for medical use. The recall notice does not specify a remedy for affected consumers.
