RX Parameter rerun settings (Sample Volume Low/High), and Dilutions used for Auto reruns, not meeting sample re-run conditions when samples are above or below assay range and may result i issues with the re-run feature conditions when incorrectly. Potential to report incorrectly.

The unit box is labeled with an incorrect expiration date (the manufacturing date of 3/17/2021) but the individual packaging contains the correct expiration date (3/17/2026).

pipettes packaged in Strep A test may fail to dispense an adequate sample volume which could result in "invalid" results or no result test results.

GE HealthCare has become aware of an issue where images from two different patients may be contained in a single study, when stored in Centricity PACS-IW V3.7.x, Centricity PACS-IW with Universal Viewer V5.0 and Centricity Universal Viewer V6.0 with PACS-IW foundation.

Upstream occlusion alarm may sound when no occlusion exists, and the device will stop pumping. Interruption to the infusion of high-risk medications may lead to hemodynamic instability requiring medical intervention to prevent permanent impairment to body structures or body functions. In some cases, this may be life-threatening or may lead to death.

When using Universal Viewer or Centricity Universal Viewer with Workflow Manager (WFM), if a third-party reporting application is used to launch exams, it could display information on a different patient than WFM and the Viewer.

Infusion Pumps with affected software revision may fail to detect air in line, which may lead to air embolism.

A force sensor in the occlusion detector may drift out of calibration leading to increased occlusion detection times, false occlusion alarms, or a System Failure Alarm. If the force sensor calibration shift is large enough, the pump will display a System Failure Alarm (including Force Sensor BGND Test, Force Sensor Bridge Test, or Force Sensor Test). However, if the calibration shift is not large enough to trigger a System Failure Alarm, the threshold to detect an occlusion may increase, increasing the time to occlusion detection, or the threshold may decrease, leading to false occlusion alarms. Although shifts in the force sensor calibration may occur over time with any device, an increased potential for such shifts has been reported in devices produced before April 2022 due to mechanical interference between parts of the plunger head assembly. Out of an abundance of caution, we are notifying all customers of this potential issue.

Packs contain recalled components (equipment drapes, table cover, and surgical room turnover (SRT) kits).
