    Do You Qualify?

    You underwent a qualifying procedure

    Such as a Colonoscopy, ERCP, Bronchoscopy, or other scope procedure.

    The procedure occurred in 2018 or later

    Using an Olympus brand medical scope.

    You developed a serious complication

    Including severe infections, sepsis, internal injuries, or required additional surgery.

    The Hidden Risk Behind Routine Procedures

    Olympus endoscopy scopes are used in millions of procedures every year. However, certain models were designed with complex internal components that made them extremely difficult to fully clean and disinfect.

    Even when hospitals followed proper cleaning protocols, harmful bacteria could remain trapped inside the device. This hidden flaw led to serious infections being passed from one patient to another — including dangerous, drug-resistant "superbugs."

    Signs You May Have Been Affected

    Severe infection requiring hospitalization
    Sepsis or bloodstream infection
    Drug-resistant infections (CRE or E. coli)
    Pneumonia or serious lung infection
    Internal injury or organ damage
    Device-related complications requiring surgery
    Unexpected severe bleeding after procedure
    Death related to infection or complications

    What Went Wrong with Olympus Scopes?

    Investigations found that certain Olympus scopes contained hard-to-clean areas that allowed bacteria to survive standard disinfection processes.

    The FDA issued multiple warnings, and Olympus later paid millions for failing to properly report risks. Many lawsuits allege that the issue was not hospital error — but a dangerous flaw in the device design itself.
