New Deal has identified through a complaint report that some 3.5 mm Diameter x 22 mm Length Surfix screws in Lot no. F626 (Catalogue No. 285322S) have been packaged and labeled as 3.5mm Diameter x 30 mm Length Surfix screws (Catalogue No. 285330S).

Novocastra Liquid Mouse Monoclonal Antibody Glutathione S-Transferase pi (Product Code: NCL-L-GSTpi-438) does not function as intended up to the expiry date on the product labeling. This was detected through an ongoing stability program. There is a linkage between the age of the product and staining intensity.

Integra LifeSciences has identified through a small number of complaints that some lot numbers of Licox Test Kits (Catalog Number BC10R) may provide erroneous "calibration test failure" message when they are used with the Licox PtO2 Monitor (LCSO2, or may provide an erroneous out of range result with the Licox CMP Brain Tissue Oxygen and Temperature Monitor (AC31).

Excessive usage of cleaning liquid on Siemens Ysio Systems may cause infiltration of the generator console, which may lead to a short circuit causing an unintended release of radiation.

During SPECT reconstructions using Attenuation Correction and Scatter Correction, no Scatter Correction is being applied in the AutoSPECT Pro application on IntelliSpace Portal. In addition, resolution recovery is not applied correctly in SPECT reconstructions using Astonish in AutoSPECT Pro on Intellispace Portal.

A software anomaly causes temperature alarm limits to change to limits which are not physiologically possible and result in nuisance false positive alarms.

Software Anomaly: Ortho Clinical Diagnostics (OCD) has become aware that if a sample requires follow-up action, such as dilution or retesting due to a mechanical issue, it is possible for that sample to be routed to the sample storage drawer (Storage) prior to the completion of the necessary pending action. A delay in patient test result(s) reporting could occur as operator is not alerted that results have not been produced and that further actions are required.

It was determined that under rare environmental conditions (i.e., extremely dry air in combination with a highly isolated floor) electrostatic discharges (ESD) >8 kV may trigger an unintended movement of the AXIOM Luminos dRFsystem which may lead to an emergency situation and pose danger to the patients, operating personnel or to the unit.

It has been identified that in a reject image workflow where multiple studies are simultaneously opened on the Centricity PACS RA1000 workstation and images are rejected from the active displayed study, images for the previously displayed study may also be rejected. The issue can occur with a previously displayed study that remains open in the background. If one or more, but not all, images in
