Reported risk: Olympus has received non-injury-related complaints that has made Olympus aware of a possibility that the cord may become damaged, resulting in sparking during use. Olympus has revised the instruction for use to recommend that surgeons cease using any cord that is more than one year old and cautions them to unplug the cable by grasping the plug, not by pulling on the cable.
