Reason/Issue	The manufacturer OWI has received complaints about fragments of adhesive detaching from the inside of the working channel of cystoscopy bridges. Chipping, cracking and delamination of the adhesive may occur when inserting an instrument through the working channel. In the rare occurrence that an adhesive fragment may fall in to the patient it can be flushed out with irrigation fluid or passed naturally. The retrieval of large adhesive fragments may require additional surgical treatment and extended anaesthesia. To date, there have been no reports of adverse events or patient injury related to this issue worldwide.
