Event Description

Olympus was informed that one day after a therapeutic transurethral resection of the prostate (turp) procedure, the patient was transferred to icu and passed away due to massive hemorrhage. The user facility reported that the hemostasis was poor intraoperatively. However, the turp was completed with the same set of equipment. An on-site investigation on (b)(6) 2019 revealed that the hf cables of the generator and spare generator (ues-40) did not function correctly related to contact quality and electricity leakage. No further information was provided.
