0.9% Sodium Chloride: Product Name/Product Code: 10ML IV FLUSH STERILE FIELD/EMZ10091240
Nurse Assist
Sodium chloride irrigation USP, and sterile water for irrigation USP, that may be packaged inside kits, have the potential for a lack of sterility assurance, which could result in a nonsterile product, use of which could cause infection.
Certain factory settings for the device were incorrectly described in the IFU-related to the warning limits for PVen and PAux, and the default settings for the venous bubble sensor (VBS) and the automatic lock in the Minimized Extracorporeal Circulation (MECC) ThApp
In affected products, the tubing outer diameter may vary in size or the length of tubing may be too short. Both issues may lead to false air-in-line alarms, which will stop the infusion and interrupt therapy. Interruptions or delays in medication administration may result in serious injury to patients which may be life-threatening (e.g. interruption of a vasopressor to a hemodynamically unstable patient) or may lead to death.

VariSoft infusion set, Model Number 1002828
Unomedical A/S
The Varisoft infusion set is used in conjunction with tandem insulin pumps. The defect reported was damage to the connector piece during manufacturing. This damage results in the connector becoming detached more easily from the insulin set than expected, requiring less force to disconnect than intended. Disconnection, when not detected, for example during sleep, leads to missed basal dosing. which in turn can result in elevated blood glucose and ketone level (nocturnal hyperglycemia). Diabetic ketoacidosis.hyperglycemia). Diabetic ketoacidosis.
Channel air drying process was not validated, and that a small percentage of scopes returned to customers after repair had a wet channel. Water remaining in the channel of the endoscopes has the potential for contamination that could lead to the risk of infection

Devices may leak as a result of a manufacturing issue. Leakage may result in a delay of therapy, increase risk of bloodstream infection (BSI), and may expose both patients and healthcare workers to hazardous medication. There is also the potential for life-threatening situations to occur requiring additional medical intervention.
