This undated photo provided by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration shows the tip of an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) duodenoscope, attached to a long tube, not shown.

More than 170 other patients may also have been exposed, university officials said. (AP Photo/U.S. Food and Drug Administration)
