Other Medical Devices

During sterile barrier testing performed on the decanter product line, the samples were identified to have pin holes and tears in the packaging film.

A slight dimensional variation which has the potential for increased difficulty fitting into outer canister.

Specimen collection device may leak after the patient sample swabs have been inserted into the test tubes, which could result in biohazard exposure, cross contamination causing false positive results for other specimens, and/or delay to test results.

Beckman Coulter, Inc. has identified a rise in reagent carousel motion errors in Access 2 Immunoassay System Analyzers that appear to be caused by misaligned index wheels housed within the reagent carousel module. Customers affected by this issue may observe an increase in reagent carousel motion errors or QSMC errors that occur while unloading or loading reagent packs during system initialization and sample processing, which causes a non-operational system status and cancels tests; and patient results may be delayed if these errors cancel test processing.

Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) Implantable Pulse Generator (IPG) may experience routine system check during IPG charging, which may cause device reset, which may lead to transient loss of stimulation; patients may experience undesired sensations when therapy turns off for approx. 10-15 seconds and then back on, which may lead patient to request surgical intervention for replacement or revision.

It was noticed in production on 28.10.2021, that the final testing database gives a pass result for Pan ADC repeatability test even when the test result is not within the set acceptance criteria (repeatability within 4%).

Due to a change in the safety clips for the heated eye masks, the wires to the safety clips may detach as a result of tugging and pulling and may cause a short in the heating element of the mask and could potentially cause burn injuries.

Problem in the device's motor may cause the device to stop compressions. This may lead to a delay in therapy if the device fails to operate, and could lead to patient injury or death.

Due to a manufacturing defect from the battery supplier, affected batteries may experience a loss of capacity earlier in the battery lifecycle than expected and overall battery runtime may decrease earlier in the battery lifecycle than expected.

The reason for this recall is Beckman Coulter has determined that when a DxI 9000 Access Immunoassay Analyzer is connected to a Laboratory Automation System (LAS); is running with the software versions 1.17 and below; and a sample tube is sent from the LAS to DxI 9000 Access Immunoassay Analyzer, an out of sequence message will be sent from the Analyzer to the LAS. This issue may result in multiple error messages (i.e., a sample pick and place (PnP) error or a no result obtained (NRT) flag may be displayed) and subsequently a risk of delays in processing/reporting patient test results and patient treatment.

There is a potential risk that the image colony count does not adequately reflect the actual plate colony count and may lead to inaccurate counts that would impact patient diagnosis and subsequent care.

Due to software issue, there is a potential when a restock label is printed for a medication stored in automated dispensing cabinets, that the incorrect bin for the medication is printed on the label.

IFU for hookup were incorrectly reflected within hookup IFUs and online reference system, Hookup Lookup (HULU). Use of an incorrect hookup connection and/or parameter set may prevent an endoscope from being properly disinfected, which may present a risk of patient contamination or infection

Medical convenience kits contain plastic syringes affected by the FDA Safety Alert issued on March 19, 2024. Leaks, breakage, and/ other quality issues have been identified that may pose a risk to patient health.

Due to software issue, there is a potential when a restock label is printed for a medication stored in automated dispensing cabinets, that the incorrect bin for the medication is printed on the label.

The support arm may unintentionally lower resulting in injury to persons when they are under the display ceiling/wall suspension when positioning the displays

Due to software issue, there is a potential when a restock label is printed for a medication stored in automated dispensing cabinets, that the incorrect bin for the medication is printed on the label.

GE HealthCare has become aware that for certain MR systems, the system predicted B1+RMS value can exceed the B1+RMS user prescribed limit when scanning in Low SAR Mode and the following two conditions are met: 1. 2D FSE T2 FLAIR OR T2 FLAIR Propeller imaging sequence is selected, AND 2. the Optimized T2 FLAIR sequence option is turned off OR not included in the MR configuration. If this occurs, it can result in overheating of an MR conditional implant.
