Due to increase in complaints related to leak alarms
Due to potential system error alarm and the inability to initiate therapy as a result of broken occlusion sensors.
The device may power off without notification to the user resulting in a stoppage of negative pressure wound therapy.
Potential sterile barrier breach
There is potential for small holes, the size of a pin, to develop in the pouches of the ActiV.A.C. Sterile Canisters.
KCI has received reports that, in a small number of cases, the CelluTome Harvester (a component of the CelluTome Epidermal Harvesting System), blades have the potential to drift during shipping and could prematurely protrude into openings of harvester top plate.
A portion of the V.A.C. GranuFoam Silver Dressing M8275099/10 lot 50775977 was incorrectly manufactured with an incorrect expiry date on the sterile pouch. The correct expiry date of 2015-11 is on the case label, however the pouch label identifies the expiry date of 2016-11.
Blade can shift during shipping which makes the product ineffective.
