The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has classified a recall of the Olympus Resection Sheath (Model No. A22041T) as Class II. The recall is due to reports of the ceramic tip of the resection sheath breaking during urologic applications. This specific product was distributed nationwide in the US.

This action signifies a significant safety concern requiring immediate attention from healthcare providers and potentially medical device makers involved in the distribution or use of this product. While the document does not specify a compliance deadline, the nature of a Class II recall implies that affected parties should cease use of the product and follow manufacturer or FDA guidance for return or replacement. Failure to comply with recall procedures can lead to regulatory scrutiny and potential penalties.
