Olympus is taking this medical device recall action after a review of reprocessing instructions for the Fiber Strippers and Cleavers. Both the strippers and cleavers are provided non-sterile and labelled as reusable/autoclavable. Olympus does not have validated cleaning and sterilization instructions. Use of a non-sterile fiber stripper or cleaver on a sterile fiber poses a risk of contamination. Recall Start Date: December 11, 2023
