Heart Sync Multi-function defibrillation electrodes will not connect with Philips FR3 or FRx AED units. The FRx AED unit requires the pads to be pre-connected, and will issue a continuous alarm chirp to alert the user that the proper pads are not connected to the unit prior to use. The FR3, however, does not require pre-connection and the user may not discover the incompatibility issue until the
Potential for biased results using the specific lot of VITROS CHEMISTRY PRODUCTS TRIG slides.
Iris International is recalling the RTH8 Rotor used in the StatSpin Express 4 Horizontal Centrifuge because the RTH8 rotor may develop cracks with use over time.
Some vials of HemosIL PT-Fibrinogen HS PLUS, Part No. 0008469810 (various lots manufactured prior to June 2014) exhibit a yellow/brownish color after reconstitution (yellow color or darker) instead of the typical white to off-white color. Vials exhibiting this yellow/brownish color were observed to cause prolonged prothrombin (PT) clotting times.

When using the QLAB Auto 2D Quantification (a2DQ) and Auto Cardiac Motion Quantification (aCMQ) applications, the reported End-Systolic Volume (ESV) may be smaller, and the Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (EF) may be higher, than the ESV and EF calculated by manual tracing without the use of QLAB. An incorrect EF calculation could lead to misdiagnosis and/or delayed or incorrect therapy.
Loss of imaging - affected devices may experience a loss of real-time interventional imaging and/or gantry motion due to the Electromagnetic (EM) sensitivity of the grid detection mechanism.
