Based on investigation, physician used two sets of incompatible scissors resulting to physical damage on the blue scope stick, which caused the failure of the image light.Although the scope is intended to be flexible, excessive bending can damage the fiberoptics bundles and the internal components.Such damage will compromise the light illuminating fibers at the distal end of the scope.The damage to the fiberoptics can occur when a user mishandles the product and uses incompatible instruments.There were no reports of patient harm.A notification was sent to all customers as a reminder of the possible damage that can occur when using incompatible instruments.
