All forceps can also be opened when the distal endoscope is fully angled and the proximal endoscope shaft is bent up to max. 90° and the proximal forceps area is not tilted in relation to the endoscope. However, when the endoscope shaft is bent by approx. 90°, the jaw opening is no longer fully possible, and the first restrictions on use begin from this positioning. If, in addition, the proximal forceps shaft is bent, the forceps can no longer be opened or restrictions begin even with a slight bending of the endoscope. Recall start date: March 9, 2023
