The hazard
Devices providing sterile water/CO2/air to endoscopes were manufactured with a distal irrigation segment connector configuration that may be more susceptible to unintended water flow from distal tip under unsupported third-party connector use conditions, which may lead to water aspiration, which may progress to aspiration pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome, or respiratory failure.
What to do
Don't stop taking a prescribed medicine without talking to your doctor or pharmacist first. For other products, stop using them and ask the pharmacist, seller or maker what to do.
