Investigation determined that one lot of the T2 Greater Trochanter Nail (GTN) was labeled as left version but contained a right nail and another lot was labeled as right version but contained a left nail.

An investigation into a report of the patient wrap (ThermoWrap), used with the Allon device, exceeding the set temperature determined that if: 1. The Human Sensor Board is disconnected from the Controller Board in the Allon device AND the temperature alarms are disabled, or 2. The Water In and Water Out and Thermostat sensors are disconnected from the Human Sensor Board AND the temperature alarms are disabled, the device will proceed to heat the water above the hardware fault limit without notifying the user of the faulty condition.

A new motor/encoder and cable was introduced into instruments manufactured starting with serial number 300141 incorrectly. This incorrect installation is introducing error codes for the Dxl 9000 which prevents the assay from being performed and a delay in results from being generated, and may require field service to resolve the delay.

identified an issue where a component failure in the specific Gradient Coil type of affected systems can potentially act as a heat source, with a potential to produce smoke and/or fire. If smoke or a fire occurs, the risk to patients or operators may include inhalation of smoke, burns, and/or asphyxia which may lead to injury or even death. This issue could also lead to property damage.

The MUSE Administrator Account active directory or local credential could potentially be used from your local network to log into a GE HealthCare MUSE 5 system and potentially manipulate recorded patient data.

A software issue was identified in the internal communication process between the system software and the X-ray generator firmware. Loss of imaging (X-ray) functionality caused by the software issue in either of the two situations identified could result in a delay of therapy. The potential delay may result in serious adverse health outcomes, including the possibility of death, especially when the system is used with patients undergoing complex and/or urgent interventions for potentially life-threatening conditions (e.g., acute ischemic stroke, ST-segment elevation myocardial ischemia, life-threatening bleedings).

OEC Elite and OEC 3D Mobile C-Arms Exceeding 4% Source to Image Distance in X-ray Field.

A software update corrected an issue where "low" and "terminal" battery alerts did not display on the screen to the user in specific circumstances when the device was not running patient therapy.

Sterile, single use closed system drug transfer devices, standalone or on infusion sets or bonded syringes, may leak at the interface between the closed male luer component and the needle-free connector, which may cause procedure delay, treatment interruptions, exposure to hazardous drugs, and/or underdosing of medication.

A manufacturing defect in the sample probe (S probe). The corners of the tip of the defective S probe are rounded and chamfered, which can prevent the proper formation of the "air layer" required for normal dispensing. The air layer is the air space that separates the cleaning water filled in the probe from the sample sucked into the probe. Maintaining this air space prevents the cleaning water and the sample from mixing. In the defective S probe, the "air layer" was not properly formed, causing the cleaning water and the sample to mix diluting the sample. As a result, the sample mixture dispensed into the cuvette has a lower concentration than the original sample, and the analyte concentration measured is lower than expected results.

Affected kits contain recalled Integra Lifesciences Codman Disposable Perforators due to inadequate welds on specific lots. Perforators with inadequate welds may break or separate.

Recent post-market surveillance data suggests a possible association of higher microbial contamination levels from TJF duodenoscopes when manual cleaning was delayed beyond one hour and a presoak was performed, compared to those TJF duodenoscopes where manual cleaning began within one hour after patient procedure.

A new software update (v1.20) is introducing error codes for the Dxl 9000 which prevents the assay from being performed and a delay in results from being generated, and may require field service to resolve the delay.

Sample probes with defective probe tips, when used with clinical chemistry analyzers, may lead to a lower concentration being dispensed, which may not be detectable by QC checks, which could lead to the reporting of false low test results (Max 34% error at 1.0 microliters and 7% error at 1.6 microliters sample dispensing volume), which may lead to delayed recognition and treatment.

During endoscope surveillance monitoring, a user facility identified contamination from duodenoscope samples that were linked to the Pre-filled Water Syringes as part of their investigation. Healthmark Industries conducted its own investigation and concluded that the Pre-filled Water Syringe had been improperly used outside of the intended purpose.

Lazervida 10W Diode Laser Engraver does not fully meet current Federal performance standards in certain areas. Specifically, the product does not incorporate the additional beam attenuator, remote interlock connector, key switch, specific labels and manual instructions required under current regulations.
