Identified products were re-gassed (sterilized more than once) after a nonconformance occurred during the initial Ethylene Oxide (EO) gas injection process. These products have not been validated for exposure to multiple sterilization cycles. Therefore, product quality, safety, and effectiveness cannot be confirmed for product that was re-gassed.
Carotid stent and post-dilation balloon system with integrated embolic protection system has an integrated filter that may not open or may not fully open during sheath retraction and operation of the filter knob. The stent is used with a primary distal embolic protection device.

Dental implants were imported under temperature and storage conditions that do not comply with the instructions for use and product labeling so there may be packaging damage, which could compromise product quality and performance.
Wire break(s) have occurred in rechargeable deep brain stimulation implantable pulse generators, implanted in the submuscular pectoral location. Wire breaks prevent successful stimulation, thus requiring device removal/replacement and users may experience high monopolar impedances, undesired sensation, loss of therapy, return of symptoms and/or Bluetooth connectivity challenges.
The potential of the elastic bands included in the kit detaching or fracturing during surgical procedures. As a result, these failures may pose a risk of retained foreign bodies in the surgical cavity and potentially leading to surgical site infections.
Bone external fixation system may have the pin that can become dislodged resulting in frame instability, the use of this product may cause a delay in surgery or a revision if the device is use.
As a result of a comprehensive product performance review it was determine that the device and instruments are not consistently meeting expected performance levels. Issues include breakage of the instruments and implant/device.
During an internal investigation, ACS determined that the rationale for sterilization of certain components was not justified and therefore, some components are not fit for further sterilization according to ACS procedures. As a result, ACS is unable to confirm product sterilization assurance requirements were met.
The potential for a failed welded nut to shear off. When this occurs, the gas strut on one side of the device becomes detached from the canopy, making the canopy difficult to lift.
