EndoChoice Earns FDA Clearance for Orca Valves

EndoChoice has nabbed FDA clearance for its single-use, sterile Orca air/water suction valves for its Olympus 160, 180 and 190 endoscopes, which removes the need to disinfect reusable valves.

EndoChoice will start marketing the valves in the U.S., EU and other select markets, according to the company.

The company will present the new valves at Digestive Disease Week in San Diego, Calif. — Anisa Jibrell
