Anorectal manometry procedure kit outer kit label is mislabeled with an incorrect expiration date; the manufacturing date was used in place of the expiration date. All inner labels on kit components display the correct expiration date.

Cannulated fenestrated polyaxial screws may be incorrectly labeled

Due to manufacturing issue, neurostimulator device may experience "cable disconnect" error message and interruption to stimulation output.

Multiple complaints indicating lower than expected quality control (QC) results and in some instances QC recovery below the lower limit of the package insert acceptance range when testing is performed with HemosIL Liquid Anti-Xa and HemosIL Heparin Calibrator. In some complaints, failure to pass QC resulted in patient testing delays.

Reports of delayed access to medication in automated dispensing cabinets because of the override/Add Item workflow.

GE HealthCare has become aware that for certain MR systems (SIGNA Artist, SIGNA Voyager, Discovery MR450 1.5T, Optima MR450w 1.5T, SIGNA Architect, SIGNA Premier, SIGNA UHP, Discovery MR750 3.0T, Discovery MR750w 3.0T, SIGNA Hero, SIGNA PET/MR, SIGNA Artist Evo, SIGNA Voyager AIR (China Only), SIGNA Architect AIR (China Only), SIGNA Premier XT (China Only), SIGNA Premier Elite (China Only), SIGNA Premier MAX (China Only), SIGNA Hero XT (China Only), SIGNA Hero Elite (China Only), SIGNA Hero MAX (China Only), SIGNA PET/MR AIR (China Only), SIGNA PET/MR AIR Plus (China Only), the planned maintenance steps to check the functionality of the caster locks on the MR patient table may not have been performed.

Inconsistent size terminology and color coding used on labeling

High pressure tubing may relax over time causing it to partially separate from the connector resulting in a void that can trap air in the line. Use of the affected product may result in the trapped air being introduced into the patient.

Access Thyroglobulin reagent lot 439163 may generate erroneously high patient results. Falsely increased Access Thyroglobulin results may lead a physician to pursue unnecessary diagnostic imaging studies and/or inappropriate therapy adjustments in patients being monitored for residual or recurrent thyroid cancer.

When fenestrated analysis with clock measurements is started in diagnostic bioimaging software (intended to measure/visualize cardiovascular structures) and the 12h position of a single clock is changed, other clock measurements are not updated relative to the new 12h position which may cause stent graft fenestrations at incorrect position, which may lead to blood flow disruption and tissue damage

Beckman Coulter identified that the Unsaturated Iron Binding Capacity (UIBC) assay is not meeting their labeled hemoglobin interference claims of no significant interference (i.e., less than 10%) up to 200 mg/dL hemoglobin as indicated in their instructions for use. Initial internal testing confirmed that samples with low UIBC levels failed the claimed hemolysis interference specifications with reported biases up to -43.6 % UIBC when hemolyzed serum samples contained 200 mg/dL hemoglobin.

Beckman Coulter has identified that the UniCel DxI 600/800 systems with linear slide PnP gantries running software versions 5.7 and up faced incorrect PnP X-motor current settings where the PnP X-motor current incorrectly resets to 1.5A (instead of the required 2.0A) because the software overwrites the factory setting during installs or upgrades. This anomaly causes increased PnP motion errors which could lead to delays in reporting patient sample results if unnoticed.
