Issue

Olympus is informing that the MAJ-1443 and MAJ-1444 are no longer reprocessing compatible with the OERPro and OER-Elite automated endoscope reprocessors. This means the MAJ-1443 and MAJ-1444 can no longer be high-level disinfected using the OER-Pro or the OER-Elite and must instead be reprocessed by methods described in updated IFU.
