Dual-articulating head rest may not stay in place or may fail to lock into position during a patient procedure which could result in an injury to the patient or a procedural delay.

A software issue that can incorrectly label all captured images that may lead to misdiagnosis and subsequent incorrect treatment.

Potential cybersecurity vulnerability that could lead to a Denial of Service (DoS) attack, tampering, or remote code execution via remote login to the Flow Anesthesia System, any of which could lead to a hazardous situation.

Magnetic materials were used for the wheels of trolley. Wheels with magnetic material might be attracted to MRI systems if the wheels are in the magnetic field.

Specific lots of sutures were sterilized with gamma doses that exceeded the range approved. The extra gamma levels may decrease the strength of the sutures over time, which could result in harms such as wound dehiscence and hemorrhage/blood loss/ bleeding at a critical level.

Product balloon issues: inflating, deflating and/or retrieving the devices; reports of bursting and leaking and events involving foreign body in patient and prolonged procedure.

The Quadrature Body Coil (QBC) seal adhesive may fail, creating sharp edges that may come in contact with patients. If the QBC seal becomes loose during the scanning process, the risk to the patient may include skin abrasions, bruises, lacerations, hair loss/entanglement, and tissue injury.

During an internal investigation, ACS identified that several components were "piggybacked" to ACS trays and subjected to the ACS sterilization process. There is no supporting documentation stating the "piggybacked" components were assessed to determine if they were suitable for exposure to elevated temperatures for an extended period of time and further exposure to sterilization. As a result, the piggybacked components may (1) have a loss/lack of functionality, (2) loss of drug efficacy, if applicable, and (3) may have had higher than specified EO residuals.
