LED display, which provides infusion or patient monitoring values, on the module may have segments that appear dim.
An instrument failure mode that may result in a Blood Culture Gram Positive (BC-GP) or Gram Negative (BC-GN) false negative call.
The catalog ( REF ) number on the peelable inner labels (patient sticker) that is on the inner container (box) is incorrect. It states BAR-A8-10MM instead of BAR-A8-8MM.
An instrument failure mode that may result in a Blood Culture Gram Positive (BC-GP) or Gram Negative (BC-GN) false negative call.
uEXPLORER PET/CT Diagnostic Imaging System - Product Usage: This system is intended to be operated by qualified healthcare professionals to assist in the detection, localization, diagnosis, staging, restaging, treatment planning and treatment response evaluation for diseases and disorders in, but not limit to, oncology, cardiology and neurology.

1) 1) Potential intermittent issue may cause image data problems, may lead to artifacts; 2) Potential intermittent scout scanning interruption due to angle signal drift caused by external interference; 3) Metal edge overlap of mylar strip in gantry may create sharp edge. May lead to repeat scanning and abrasions.
The therapy switch may fail, resulting in the device exhibiting the following behaviors: the device may not perform the selected function, the therapy knob may not change to the energy setting selected, or the device may deliver a shock with an energy level different from the setting selected by the user. These device behaviors could result in a delay in therapy or a failure to deliver the intended therapy.

1) Service function problem may cause false marking of a bad channel resulting in ring artifacts; 2) Potential intermittent scout scanning interruption due to angle signal drift caused by external interference; 3) Metal edge overlap of mylar strip in gantry may create sharp edge. May lead to repeat scanning and abrasions (N/A for Serial No. 200036)
BSC has noted a potential inability to cut and remove polyps for these lots/batches. potential consequences related to the snares not performing as intended would be a prolonged procedure duration, tissue damage and/or self-limited bleeding. The most severe potential injury would include immediate or delayed hemorrhage and/or perforation requiring intervention up to and including open surgery; the likelihood of these severe injuries occurring is remote and, to date, have not been reported as a complaint. The potential inability to cut may also lead to inadequate removal of target tissue.

Cleaning agents may damage Inter-Unit Interface (IUI) Connectors, which may lead to interruption of communication or power between PC Unit and modules, which may result in an infusion that stops with a CHANNEL DISCONNECTED message, and an audio/visual alarm on the PC Unit and an interruption of therapy or monitoring.
If one or more screws or washers are loose or missing causing the battery not to be properly secured to the PC Unit, that is running on battery power, the system may experience a power loss with a prolonged, non-silenceable alarm. Power loss may result in an interruption of patient therapy or monitoring.

CARESCAPE ONE may not provide visual and audible alarms for Ventricular Fibrillation (V Fib), if V Fib occurs at the time CARESCAPE ONE is docked to a CARESCAPE B450/B650/B850 host monitor.
This voluntary recall is being conducted following three customer reports of the device cannula detaching during a procedure. In one case, the detached cannula was not retrieved during the procedure. Potential risks associated with a detached cannula include delay in treatment, biliary leak, pain and retained device fragments.
