There are two software bug issues with the analyzer. Issue 1: When a dedicated rack is reserved for calibration, after a calibration test has been placed and completed, the same rack may be used to place both a patient order and a calibration order. When a patient sample and a non-barcoded calibrator tube is processed on the rack, the calibration result will be reported as a patient result. Issue 2: calibration with expired calibrator. They both may cause erroneous patient results, but the probability of serious adverse health consequences or death is unlikely.

Catheters may contain a hole in the catheter tubing, which could result in leakage during the insertion process.
Issue with analyzer when the pH of the calibration solution decreases during the in-use period potentially because of bacterial growth in the calibration solution bottles. This may result in a probability of reporting biased out-of-specification pH results on blood samples.

Heater shaker module does not perform heating if the temperature is set below 40ΒΏC for static incubation steps when running IVD protocol QIAampΒΏ DSP DNA Mini Kit (cat. no. 61304), Protocol: Isolation of genomic DNA from Gram-positive bacteria (Script filename: Kt_name_Bacteria (Gram+) or rY'east_Enzymatic Lysis_ V2) which could potentially cause delayed or erroneous results depending on the downstream assay.
If automated dispensing cabinets have specific software versions, and Component Manager was configured to "installed mode", and software patch KB 5033688 was installed in the production environment, then this will will lead to an error that prevents the user from accessing the dispensing software application, which may delay accessing medication.

Multitest with compromised raw material used to assess immune system status may result in flow cytometry plot with unusual staining pattern, nonspecific aggregates, high background, double positive event increase on CD3+CD4+vsCD3+CD8+ and/or CD3-CD16+CD56+vsCD3-CD19+, contaminated antibodies, may lead to erroneous or delayed results, additional patient sample, might impact healthcare decisions
Non-conformance pertains to electromagnetic compatibility requirements according to the international technical standard IEC 60601-1-2 for the safety and essential performance of medical electrical equipment, where the result from the Horizon DXA System exceeded the limit for acceptability.
During manufacturing, the step to install an Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) Absorber was omitted. The purpose of the EMI absorber is to prevent EMI leakage that might potentially affect other devices in the vicinity or the device itself may be vulnerable to EMI resulting in device malfunction or unavailability.

Ultrasound system has a bug in affected iOS software, which after DICOM export, can cause inaccuracy in postprocessed measurements done in 3rd party software, such as PACS or other post-processing software, which may lead to inaccurate diagnoses or treatment.
ARTIS is a family of dedicated angiography systems developed for single and biplane diagnostic imaging and interventional procedures including, but not limited to, pediatric and obese patients.
Siemens AG/Siemens Healthcare GmbH
A potential issue with ARTIS icono systems equipped with a small detector and a corresponding collimator (model # 10843101) was identified. In very rare situations, the first x-ray release following patient registration may be performed with incorrect copper prefiltration. If the described issue occurs, the applied radiation dose rate may be higher than intended by the user.

Beckman Coulter is recalling their DxI 9000 Access Immunoassay Analyzers, an in vitro diagnostic device used for the quantitative, semi-quantitative, or qualitative determination of various analyte concentrations found in human body fluids, by correction. The reason for the recall is: Beckman Coulter has determined that the DxI 9000 Access Immunoassay analyzer accepts calibrator values scanned from multiple calibrator cards when an operator configures a new calibrator lot. The analyzer accepts the calibrator lot values from any scanned calibrator card, regardless of the assay test code or calibrator material lot number. The software is not validating the integrity of each calibrator barcode scanned to ensure they are all from the same calibrator card. This includes all software versions and all DxI 9000 instruments that are currently in the field. This issue does not impact calibrator material with 2D calibrator card barcodes. This may cause a failed calibration curve. The health risk to patients is dependent upon the analytes that could be impacted by the error, to include receiving delayed or erroneous results. The issue was identified by Beckman Coulter while conducting a field action on DxI 9000 Access Immunoassay Analyzers.
