Potential loss of airway gas measurement in the Compact Airway Gas Modules. Loosening of the gas sampling pump hex screw in the module pump unit may lead to pump failure that may cause loss of respiratory airway gas parameter monitoring. If this issue occurs, the monitor will show an alarm note on monitor screen of either "Low gas sample flow" or "Check sample gas out".

The battery pack wire harness is improperly assembled rendering the device inoperable. The wiring issue causes an error code to be displayed and results in the device sounding an alarm repeatedly at power up. The presence of the error code and the devices alarm prevents the device from functioning until the issue is addressed.

In the case of a loss of GUI display due to a Backlight Inverter PCBA failure, the ventilator continues to provide uninterrupted ventilatory support at the programmed settings for the patient. However, there is a loss of display and thus there is a necessity to move the patient to another ventilator.

Alere initiated this recall because a limited number of Alere Triageยฟ D-Dimer devices from PN 98100 Lot W53884B were incorrectly manufactured. As a result, when testing patient sample these affected devices will either generate an error code (e.g. E4 error), or they may generate an incorrect result.

enGen (TM) Laboratory Automation System Configured with TCAutomation" Software v3.5 -- For in vitro quantitative measurement of a variety of analytes of clinical interest --- The VITROS 5,1 FS Chemistry System with enGenTM Laboratory Automation System is intended for use in the in vitro quantitative measurement of a variety of analytes of clinical interest, using both VITROS Chemistry Products Slides (colorimetric endpoint, rate, ion-selective electrode, and immunorate methods) and VITROS Chemistry Products MicroTip liquid reagents (spectrophotometric and spectrophotometric immunoassay methods.). ---The enGen (TM) Lab Automation System is a modification to VITROS Analyzers that includes the addition of an automated track sub-system (TCAutomation) for pre-analytical and post-analytical sample and data management. In addition to an Automated Track Sub-system, the enGen (TM) System includes one or more VITROS Chemistry, Immunodiagnostic and/or Integrated Systems (clinical analyzers) as well as a Data Management Subsystem (Middleware), and a Software Configuration (gsb) File. The enGen System is typically interfaced with a Laboratory Information System (LIS) via connectivity facilitated at the Data Management Subsystem level. By using the enGen (TM) Laboratory Automation System as a communication interface between the LIS and the clinical analyzers in the laboratory, the user can manage the workflow to the analyzers and other devices as an integrated system. This eliminates the need for the user to program tests for each sample uniquely on each analyzer. Within the enGen (TM) Laboratory Automation System, the physical routing of samples to the correct location is also automatic. The Buffer Module functions either as a location for samples waiting for results or as a storage area for empty sample tube carriers. When a sample is presented to a clinical analyzer via the Bypass module and is metered for testing, the sample remains on the track system in the Buffer module while waiting for the test results to be generated. If all test results are generated as expected and no additional actions are required, the sample is routed to a designated Exit module where it can be removed from the track system by the user. However, there are certain situations in which a follow-up action (retest of the sample) may be necessary. In these situations, the sample is routed back to a clinical analyzer via the Bypass module to complete the follow-up action. Examples of situations requiring a retest include, but are not limited to: repeat testing when a "No Result"is generated during the initial test event, sample dilution when an out of range result is obtained during the initial test event, and routing to an alternate analyzer when the first analyzer the sample is sent to is unavailable for testing. Once the follow-up sample metering actions are complete, the sample is routed to Buffer module where it remains until testing is complete. Once all test results are obtained the sample is routed to the designated Exit module.

If a customer creates customized trend scales in the trend review tile and the iX or primary server reboots for any reason, the iX(s) will enter a reboot loop. If one iX reboots, the issue will impact only those patients monitored on that device. If the primary server reboots, all patients across all iX devices will be impacted.
