Stryker Neurovascular has observed an increased frequency of PTFE coating damage occurring on the Synchro Guidewires that may be caused by the practice of backloading the guidewire through the optional introducer accessory. This issue is limited to certain lots of the Synchro Guidewire that contain an older version of the introducer accessory. Due to variation in the manufacturing process of the supplier of the introducer accessory, certain lots of introducers have sharper than intended edges that can peel off the PTFE coating when physicians use a technique known as backloading. Users with impacted product in their inventory are cautioned not to use this backloading technique.

Due to software issue the device may give false "SpO2 Probe Failure" alarm

Potential for an electrical component of the O-arm" O2 Imaging System to intermittently shut off,failure can cause the potential for surgical delay, additional imaging, cancellation and rescheduling of surgery, or completion of surgery without the benefit of image guidance.

Due to software issues, their is the potential for loss of image or a degradation of the image when using the monitor with other connectable devices.

The results generated by the VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products Vitamin B12 Range Verifier Lot# 1200 RV Level 2 may cause range verification failure. The issue is detectable by the user when the product fails to meet the required range during processing of RV Level 2 of this lot. There is a potential for a delay in patient test results should the user have a need to switch to an alternate method of range verification including use of an alternate lot. As this issue affects the upper limit range verification, there is no impact to VITROS Immunodiagnostic Products Vitamin B12 assay performance. Were the assay to not perform as expected, the failure would be detectable by Quality Control. Past patient sample results are unaffected, and no review of reported results is required.

Assays may produce false negative results due to decreased activity of the enzyme utilized in manufacturing.

The EsophaCap sponge may be at increased risk of detaching from the string during removal of the device from the patient, particularly at the lower esophageal sphincter at the gastroesophageal junction or the upper esophageal sphincter between the pharynx and the esophagus, which is the narrowest part of the alimentary canal.
