Labeling includes shelf life that has not been validated.

Reverse Shoulder humeral liners have an articular surface position outside of the dimensional specification within the labeling.

Three failure modes have been identified: failure of the Heartstring Seal to load, failure of the Heartstring Seal to deploy into the aortotomy, and failure of the deployed Heartstring Seal to provide adequate hemostasis.

Lack of a 510(k) premarket clearance for the i-STAT CG8+, EG7+ and EG6+ cartridges to reflect updated sample type for potassium and ionized calcium and measurement ranges for pH and PO2.

The Encore 26 Inflation Device is used with balloon dilation catheters to create and monitor pressure in the balloon and to deflate the balloon. An internal investigation determined that during use, foreign material particles could migrate from affected Encore 26 Inflation Devices into a balloon dilatation catheter.

Certain desiccant tube subassemblies were built with end caps that were not correctly tightened.

Limited system movements after startup .

Software issue that results in the display of outdated information.

A 37 mm implant width intervertebral body fusion device has a labeling discrepancy with incorrect width of 33 mm stated on the outer label side flap and inner label side flap information box. The 37 mm width on the front labels is correct.

Potential for open header bag seals, compromising sterility.

Inserter, used as part of a system with an intervertebral body fusion device, may contribute to difficulty disengaging the implant or improper implant positioning, which may may lead to prolonged surgery, intraoperative revision, and may require the use of alternate instrumentation. Devices may also have incorrect UDI-DI marking.

Potential for open header bag seals, compromising sterility.

Failure of fusion system instruments in the field.

Units may have been packaged with an incorrect pouch label, which lists the reference number and unique device identifier of the 4F version of the device, rather than the packaged 6F version.

Potential for falsely depressed patient, quality control (QC), and/or calibration results or delayed results.

An internal investigation determined that during use, foreign material particles could migrate from affected Encore 26 Inflation Devices into a balloon dilatation catheter.

Devices with firmware versions 2.3 and lower may experience timing variations between software tasks, which could result in skipping the necessary neutral check and the wheelchair producing unintended movement upon power-up when the joystick is out of neutral.

Certain CADD 50 mL and 100 mL Medication Cassette Reservoirs may exhibit weakened medication bag welds along the bag perimeter inside the plastic housing. This could result in medication leakage along the bag perimeter.
