Due to software issue, New systems may exhibit an error which may prohibit use of new systems resulting in system being inoperable

Spinal fixation system 7.5mmx 50mm screws are packaged with the correct labeling, but the screws themselves were laser marked with an incorrect size description of 7.5 x 40; use of incorrect screws could lead to screw perforation and indention of vascular or other structures.

The sterility of microcatheter and infusion system devices cannot be guaranteed.

The following was missing from the Contraindications Statement: The AVAPS-AE therapy mode is contraindicated for invasive use and patients less than 10 kg. The AVAPS feature is contraindicated for patients less than 10 kg. Potential harms if devices are used on contraindicated patients include barotrauma, hypoventilation/hypercapnia, and rebreathing of excessive CO2.

A sterilization nonconformance prematurely aged the product by 48.3 days, resulting in the expiration date on the label not being accurate. This nonconforming product was inadvertently distributed to customers. Increased risk to patients and healthcare providers using the product after the shortened expiration date of November 17, 2025.

MicroSTARii readers may be contributing to the nanodot dosimeter measurement inaccuracy in two possible ways. The first is related to the interaction of the reader s LED beam profile with the nanoDot dosimeter. The second is debris formation due to drawer actuation, resulting in a change of reader response that may not be detectable unless known dose QCs are being run regularly.

There are potential performance issues found in the Alinity ci-series System software versions 3.4.0 and lower, including: 1) SCC Reagent load error during daily maintenance; 2) Sample Laboratory Report error; 3) Customer requests mechanism to prevent user error when creating new lots of value assigned Calibrators; 4) Error in processing tests after CCCintController encountered an error with the assay information downloaded from SCC; 5) The assay editor does not correctly check sample dilution total volume limits; 6) User-Applied Labels not adhering to Reagent Bottles; 7) ICT Module did not expire after warranty was exceeded. These performance issues could lead to erroneous results for multiple analytes.

Kit were manufactured and distributed with Edwards Life Sciences TruWave Disposable pressure transducers which were subsequently recalled by Edwards Life Sciences.

Affected Liberty Select cyclers may display an incorrect time stamp on the treatment data report sent to the clinic.

The component tracheostomy brush has a sharp edge at the tip that can potentially puncture tubing during use and/or cause user injury. Additionally, there have been incidents of the tracheostomy brush bristles detaching prior to use in the packaging and/or during use.

Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics Inc. has confirmed a potential issue that could occur under certain conditions, a software problem is causing erroneous results to be printed. When the results are run on the epoc NXS Host and Delete Blood Tests feature is enabled, the results that are generated at the time of testing are correct; however, when this issue occurs, results that are printed, saved and/or transferred to a data manager, may include unselected analytes that are from a previous patient or QC test. The worst possible outcome may result in a failure to diagnose hyperkalemia, due to an erroneous depressed potassium level or inappropriate treatment to hyperglycemia due to erroneous glucose reading.

Exactech has received 3 complaints for 4 devices related to a loss of vacuum in the inner-most vacuum bag.

Masks non-invasive interface for channeling airflow to patients have magnets that have potential magnetic interference with active medical implants that interact with magnets, and metallic implants/objects containing ferromagnetic material so contraindications and warnings about safe distance to medical devices/implants are being updated for patients using masks or anyone in close physical contact
