There is a software issue that can result in the loss of patient monitoring on the Portrait Central Viewer Application after 425 days of continuous run-time.

Platelet Reactivity Test distributed without appropriate US-FDA market clearance; if used healthcare personnel could use the baseline PRUTest measurement prior to initiating drug therapy, and then use the percent inhibition formula in the notice to manually calculate the percentage of platelet aggregation inhibition for a given patient receiving drug treatment with P2Y12 receptor inhibitor.

Hemoglobin interference may occur at concentrations lower than the claimed 300 mg/dL, and may cause negatively biased digoxin results.

During the set-up and workflow to begin Vios monitoring, it has been noticed that patient vital signs and ECG waveforms can become distorted and will flicker or flash very fast. This issue only occurs on the Central Station Monitor (CSM) in the patient tiles view and is not seen at any other point during patient monitoring & not on the Bedside Monitor.

False-positive MSI-H results generated by the Idylla MSI Test.

Three lots of the FastPacks kitted into the FastPack SHBG Complete Kits were labeled with the incorrect expiration date. The following is a listing of affected lots: Lot Number: 2408018-1, 2409015-1, and 2409015-2. The likelihood of patient harm is expected to be low as routine Quality Control should detect kits that are impacted by signal deterioration due to age.

Telemetry receiver systems may experience a Windows proxy Issue causing the system to shut down and restart (Offline displayed), lasting approximately 1 to 1.5 minutes, which will cause temporary loss of monitoring. If a clinical event occurred during this period, staff may not detect until the system restarts; necessary clinical intervention could be delayed.

Telemetry receivers with affected software versions may experience unsolicited system shut down and restart (Offline displayed), lasting approximately 1 to 1.5 minutes, which will cause temporary loss of monitoring. If a clinical event occurred during this period, staff may not detect until the system restarts and necessary clinical intervention could be delayed.

Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics is recalling two lots of their Dimension Vista¿ Total Magnesium (MG) Flex Reagent Cartridges (lots 24057BB and 24064BC) due to the potential for falsely low measurements of magnesium in plasma. Because the error is intermittent, existing quality control procedures may not recognize that a patients results are incorrect, and the results may be reported out

A software bug within the Gen 2 StatStrip Hospital Meter firmware leads to transmission of erroneous glucose patient test results to a healthcare institution's data management system (DMS) at healthcare sites using WiFi if a user navigates to the Review Results screen while the meter is in the process of transmitting the current glucose test result to the DMS. The risk of this software defect is erroneously high or low glucose results being documented in a patient's medical record, which may lead to incorrect treatment.

Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics is recalling their epoc Blood Analysis System because of a software malfunction that occurs when specific criteria are met that can result in the incorrect patient name being assigned to a blood measurement by the device if the user of the device does not ensure verification of the correct patient name. The software malfunction has the potential to impact patient safety via misdiagnosis and/or mistreatment by a clinician if the wrong patient information is saved with the test result from the subject device.

Bronchoscopic visualization system power supplies have defective semiconductor components that may fail unexpectedly, which could result in an aborted procedure since it is a non recoverable failure. Manual removal of the bronchoscope when the system is not functioning can increase the chance of injury to the tissues of the lung as the scope is withdrawn including the possibility of pneumothorax.
