Software issue. The difference between the display and dosimeter readings In the Child/Pediatric automatic exposure mode is in the range of 52-65%. The display in all other modes deviated by less than 35% from the dosimeter readings.
Philips has received several reports in which monitors with lithium ion batteries that had exceeded their battery life expectancy have overheated or ignited. These batteries should be replaced every 3 years or upon reaching 300 charge-discharge cycles. Although the Philips SureSigns VS & VM Monitors and View Station (VSV) can display actual information on either or both battery age and charge-discharge cycles, the existing labeling does not include full instructions on how to use this information to determine when to replace the battery. An overheated battery may in turn cause the device case to overheat and possibly melt or cause the device to ignite, which can cause injury to a patient, nearby users, or cause damage to property.
Ortho Kinematics Inc. sent a Notice of Correction to Released Testing Results, Radiological Read Report for the Vertebral Motion Analyzer (VMA) test because it contained an error. The error occurred due to a software bug that has been corrected.

Clarity Diagnostics LLC discovered specific lots of Clarity 10SG Strips are not compatible for use in the Clarity Urocheck 120 Urine Analyzers, due to lack of Canister Code Bar Code Label.
GUANGZHOU WONDFO BIOTECH discovered on the TCube One Step Multi-Drug Oral Fluid Test Cube the potential for failure of the saliva collection device. The use of the saliva collection device could cause the foam tip to become dislodged in the user's mouth creating a choking hazard.
H/Sat Hybrid Intensity Shift has been seen in a subset of the H/Sat population, which has resulted in an increase of Hybrids failing the H/Sat Color Chip Test which is an automated self-test when the device is powered on. This will not result in device inaccuracy, only Color Chip Test Failure which disables the H/Sat module.
Bubble Leak Testing on AbViser AutoValve IAP Monitoring Devices without Transducer confirmed the potential for a pinhole breach in the sterile barrier.
