Vagus nerve stimulator generators may stop delivering stimulation due to an internal, mechanically activated component that may become stuck in a closed position, which may result in patients returning to baseline seizure frequency or depressive symptoms and in the longer term, patients may be required to undergo generator replacement surgery to replace their device.
There is a potential for the Inline Controller to be using the spring out of specification causing a loss of positive pressure resulting in the Neo-Tee Resuscitator and/or Circuit will not reach the high and low ends of the PIP and PEEP pressure ranges impacting effective ventilation of the patient..
Large Volume Pump Software, version 5.9.2 and earlier has potential for the following anomalies: 1. The pump may become nonfunctional if during an alarm condition the Pause Audio option is repeated 70 time or more. 2. If a secondary infusion is started at the exact moment a primary infusion completes and VTBI reaches 0, it will switch to primary. The primary infusion will infuse at the previously programed primary rate and continue until the infusion is stopped or the bag is empty.
Mislabeling; Levofloxacin Antimicrobial susceptibility disc packaging may contain Norfloxacin Antimicrobial Susceptibility discs.
Disposable set may leak during priming from a female quick connector due to a crack in the female quick connector, may lead to a potential delay in treatment since the set will need to be replaced by another set
Snap rings may become partially or completed detached from the shafts within the internal mechanism. Uncontrolled rotation may occur on the left and right roll axes when the rings are removed or damaged.
Potential for hole in package compromising sterility of the medical kit.
Panther Fusion GBS Assay REF PRD-04484 Kit containing Panther Fusion GBS Reagent Cartridge IVD.
Hologic
Potential weak pouch seal on Panther Fusion GBS assay cartridge, causing potential for invalid or incorrect results leading to a possible delay of treatment.
Fluid Delivery Sets were incorrectly assembled with a white macro drip chamber instead of the required grey micro drip chamber. The macro drip chamber delivers three times more fluid per drop than the micro drip chamber.
Increase in complaints associated with a molding defect within the inner lumen of delivery cartridges which could result in a scratch on the intraocular lens (IOL) upon delivery.
GE Healthcare Brivo NM 615, Model/Catalog Numbers: 1) 5376204-15, 2) H2401MA, 3) H3100TA; System, Tomography, Computed, Emission
GE MEDICAL SYSTEMS ISRAEL, FUNCTIONAL IMAGING
GE HealthCare has become aware that certain Infinia, VariCam/VG/VH, Brivo NM 615, Discovery NM 630, Discovery NM/CT 670, and Optima NM/CT 640 Nuclear Medicine systems (see Affected Products Details and Appendices) could have been transported or relocated without proper detector support, which can result in excessive load being applied to the detector mounting mechanisms. If this occurs, it can potentially result in a detector fall and lead to life-threatening bodily injury.
DRG:HYBRiD-XL Insulin. Model/Catalog Number: HYE-5361
DRG International
The user of the assay may either face a failure message during re-calibration of the Hybrid.XL instrument using the re-calibration R1 and R2 of the device or find controls out of specification (failed Control High) which causes a delay in results.
Fluid Delivery Sets were incorrectly assembled with a white macro drip chamber instead of the required grey micro drip chamber. The macro drip chamber delivers three times more fluid per drop than the micro drip chamber.
Ostomy skin barrier package contains a pre-cut wafer of 28mm instead of 16mm and/or 35mm pre-cut wafers, as stated package labeling. If pre-cut wafers are too big the device cannot be used and if the pre-cut wafer is too small and the device user tries to apply, this could cause abrasion, stomal cut, and bleeding
Potential endotoxin contamination in non-sterile surgical strips and patties in Presource kits.
Beckman Coulter has identified that some Access PTH reagent packs from lot 339071 may be over- or under-filled in well 0. The dispensed material in well 0 could be above or below specification, risking sealing issues, contamination, instrument errors, delays, or inaccurate results with a negative bias and increase in imprecision. The issue was confirmed on 10 April 2024 by Beckman Coulter through an internal non-conformance (NC-INT-66585). The well 0 scale on the filling line began malfunctioning on the fill immediately before PTH. The malfunction was not noticed until the majority of PTH was filled.
Ivenix Infusion System (IIS), Large Volume Pump, Model Number: LVP-0004
Fresenius Kabi USA
Potential pneumatic valve failure that may cause the LVP to stop an active infusion and/or could prevent the pump from being used.
Aerin Medical VivAer Stylus, REF CAT1785 (individual stylus), and REF CAT500 (5-pack), sterile.
Aerin Medical
Some units in a single production lot were programmed incorrectly which will result in the VivAer Stylus being incorrectly recognized as RhinAer Stylus when connected to the Aerin Console.
VasoView HemoPro 2 Endoscopic Vessel Harvesting System. Model Numbers: VH-4000. Indicated for use in minimally invasive surgery allowing access for vessel harvesting.
Maquet Cardiovascular
Potential for two issues: 1. Bent or detached heater wire; 2. Silicone peeling or detaching from the Jaws of the Harvesting Tool
