Hospitals across the country used Olympus endoscopes that couldn't be properly sterilized — exposing patients to life-threatening infections. If you or a loved one was harmed, our attorney partners are reviewing cases now.
Olympus manufactures reusable endoscopes used in ERCPs, colonoscopies, bronchoscopies, and other procedures performed in hospitals every day. These devices were designed to be reused — but they could not be reliably sterilized between patients.
The result: deadly bacteria passed from patient to patient. Victims developed sepsis, CRE (carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae), and other life-threatening superbug infections — through no fault of their own.
"In 2021, Olympus Medical Systems Corp. pleaded guilty to federal charges of distributing adulterated medical devices. The company paid over $80 million in criminal fines."
