The facility called to report that the endogator auxiliary water jet connector for pentax gi endoscopes was leaking because oring on the plastic connector that connects to the endoscope was too big.It was reported that the physician got sprayed with irrigation fluid when he activated the irrigation system.There is potential for cross contamination exposure.Medivators quality assurance team inspected the returned connectors from this lot and the issue could not be duplicated.The water that is sprayed from the connector would have been from the sterile water bottle when used in conjunction with the irrigation pump.There was no reported injury to the physician.This complaint will continue to be monitored within medivators complaint system.
