RE:RE:RE:No real news yet??Olympus has denied thathere is a problem. They still believe in high sterile disinfection..... Olympus has so many legal liabilities and are blaming the scope problem in inaduqate HDL by staff. Olympus does not see or believe in the scope infection.
So you are not going to get your letterhead from Olympus. In fact FDA and AAMI will force Olympus to sterilize the scopes. Olympus agreeing to sterilization will mean they are liable for past infections and deaths so Olympus will not issue IFU unless they are kicking and screaming.
Olympus has not helped or provided Tos any scopes or information for the FDA approval.
Hospitals will go with the scope manufacturer that does agree to sterilize and provide IFU ... most likely going to be Pentax. Olympus will lose market share. Olympus has little choice either way.
