The firm received consumer reports of the ceramic trocar tip of the Emprint ablation antenna disengaging from the needle shaft post-ablation. This can result in the tip remaining in the patient.

Software anomaly may incorrectly extend the on-analyzer stability time for a loaded VITROS Reagent.

Unintentional U-Arm movement

Firm is offering advice to customers experiencing challenges when validating the calibration curve of the IgM kits. This is indicated by kit control values reporting outside the specified ranges.

HVAD Battery Charger units manufactured with wrong inductors.

Inspection process at the manufacturer found nonwoven material was used in specific lots of product that may break wile in use during the patient/resident transfer. Patient/resident might fall on the floor. IN consequence, the patient might sustain a major trauma, head injury - damage to tissue that is irreversible or may lead to death.

Tosoh Bioscience has become aware of a potential issue with the AIA-900 and AIA-2000 analyzers that could result in slippage of the incubator unit contained within the system. If the tension of the timing belt is not adjusted correctly, it is possible for a misalignment that will result in a mechanical error. Tosoh has taken the required actions to inspect the tension of the timing belt during preventative maintenance and correct the instruments where this issue has been observed. If incubator slippage occurs, the unit will cease to function, and a system error will be reported. If this occurs, there may be a delay in testing and reporting patient test results. There have been no reports of injury related to this issue.

Zimmer Biomet is conducting a lot specific medical device recall for two lots of the Orthopedic Salvage System (OSS) and the Comprehensive Shoulder System. The investigation determined that the Mini Humeral Stem is potentially labeled as the Bowed IM Stem lot. The associated risk of this product issue is a potential extension of surgery <30 minutes if a replacement is readily available.

The firm has become aware of a potential issue that may affect the mixing motor drive harness and mixing home detection sensor relay harness on your AIA-900 Analyzer. It is possible that the harnesses could rub against the Plarail chain during operation and result in premature wear. If observed, this issue will cause the following system error to be reported D.lane Mix home overrun error [4093] . If observed, this issue will cause the AIA-900 Analyzer not to function and the D.lane Mix home overrun error [4093] will be reported by the system. Replacement of the motor drive harness and mixing home detection sensor relay harness will mitigate the potential for premature wear and effectively prevent this issue from causing the system error. If the sensor relay harness fails, the AIA-900 analyzer will cease to function and will be unavailable for use. If this issue occurs, there may be a delay in testing and reporting patient test results. Tosoh is aware of two complaints associated with the unexpected wearing of the harness. There have been no user or patient injuries reported that are related to this device malfunction.

a portion of a single lot was not manufactured in accordance with the internal formulation resulting in inhibited growth of Gram negative organisms.

This recall has been initiated due to a software defect found in the Guide System software when used with NICO BrainPath ports under certain circumstances. When one trajectory is set with a blue port and another trajectory is set with a gold port, the software defect is triggered when the user switches between these trajectories during a surgical procedure.

Certain lots of Medex" High Pressure Stopcocks were manufactured with an inner body defect that may result in a leak. Model Number - Lot Number MX4301L - 3538569 MX4331L - 3562377 & 3546826 MX4331R - 3546924

After running the calibration curve, the recovery of the IgM kit control results decrease demonstrating a reduction in accuracy within the same day; control results may be out of range one day after running the assay calibration curve. Samples have been shown to be similarly affected.

Expired intraocular lenses were distributed.

The kit was provided without a copy of the lot-specific kit booklet and the Calibrator 0 vial 18D1/4 label incorrectly specified reconstitution volume of 2mL.

The sterilization process used was unqualified.
