Report-date coverage
June 20, 2012–July 08, 2026
Known gap: openFDA describes 2004-present coverage, but the current export has no report-date records in this interval.

event_date_initiated coverage
June 01, 1997–June 30, 2026
Enforcement coverage uses report dates; product initiation dates can precede those bounds. Device-enrichment coverage uses FDA event_date_initiated.
Product dates, classifications, firms, and source wording remain attached to their individual rows.

The Air/Water Valve is provided/used with the following Endoscopes: ULTRASONIC GASTROFIBERSCOPE, ULTRASONIC GASTROVIDEOSCOPE, ULTRASONIC COLONOVIDEOSCOPE: GF-UC140P-AL5, GF-UCT140-AL5, GF-UE160-AL5, GF-UCT180, GF-UM20, GF-UM130, GF-UMQ130, GF-UM160, GF-UC160P-OL5, GF-UCT160-OL5
The air/water valve MAJ-1444 used with OER-Pro and OER-Elite may become damaged and result in loss of the one-way valve functionality by repeated automated endoscope reprocessing in Olympus OER machines, causing body fluid could backflow into the air/water channel of the ultrasonic endoscopes during the procedure.
These labels are deterministic app interpretations, not FDA categories.
Official device-enrichment evidence · Unknown
An exact joined enrichment record exists, but none supplies supported root-cause wording. This is not an FDA finding of an unknown cause.
