Olympus endoscopes and duodenoscopes are medical devices used in diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, including ERCP. Due to the complex internal design of these devices, they can be difficult to fully clean and disinfect between uses, even when standard protocols are followed. Patients have developed serious infections following procedures involving these scopes, including antibiotic-resistant superbug infections, sepsis, and internal organ infections.
Litigation activity is examining device design, contamination risks, and whether adequate warnings were provided to patients and healthcare providers. The FDA has issued safety alerts related to these devices.

Potential claimants typically include individuals who underwent a procedure involving an Olympus endoscope or duodenoscope and subsequently developed a serious infection such as a drug-resistant bacterial infection, sepsis, or related complication. Qualification generally involves reviewing procedural records, infection diagnosis, and documentation of hospitalization or long-term injury resulting from the complication.
