Sponge forceps and towel clamps associated with small loose metal flakes potentially could detach from the components. Metal flakes on components may enter a patients surgical site undetected causing local reactions or possible foreign body reactions

Specimen container included in kits is labeled as sterile, but has been identified to be non-sterile. Long-term consequences may include unnecessary treatment and/or prolonged hospitalization.

There is the potential for exam files being assigned duplicate Unique Identifiers (UIDs),. If the system receiving the DICOM file (e.g., Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS)) relies solely on the UID to accept exams, this could lead to a mismatch of the patients identification with their physiological data.

DeRoyal is recalling certain lots of surgical procedure pack products that contain a Stryker SafeAir Smoke Evacuation Pencil. The recall is due to Stryker receiving reports that the pencil is activating without manual input when plugged into a power source or remains active after buttons are released.

Product defect where the X-ray detectable barium strip (aka radio-opaque marker) becomes detached from the sponge (pattie). May delay surgical process as the surgeon may require extra time to remove the markers from the surgical field.

Due to products being shipped/distributed to customers after the products expiration date had past.

There is discrepant labeling on the inner and outer packaging of the device.

Complaints were received regarding needle pull-off and suture degradation. Analysis on returned product from this lot confirmed that some sutures were visually degraded in the package.

X-ray R/F system software with certain versions of the control board may occasionally fail to display images when switching from Fluoroscopy mode to Radiography mode, which may lead to the possibility of delay or cancellation of the examination.

Abbott has identified an increase of incidences regarding Error Code (EC) 9198 (Positive control is non-reactive) while using the Alinity m HR HPV AMP Kit and Alinity m STI AMP Kit. Certain invalidated positive assay controls can be traced to iron leaching into the Alinity m Lysis Solution from the lysis transfer pump in the Alinity m System.

Prior to current established manufacturing practices, higher levels of airborne formaldehyde exposure from newly manufactured incubators could be seen during clinical use that would rapidly decrease over a week. Affected customers were notified in June 2023 to run incubators for a week to potentially off gas any residual airborne formaldehyde. The general scientific consensus is that sensory irritation of the eyes is the most sensitive endpoint with respect to exposure to airborne formaldehyde and is the adverse effect clinically experienced at the lowest concentration.

There were reports of the silicone detaching from the Jaws of the Harvesting Tool during use.

Due to oximeters not having FDA market approval or clearance to distribute in the U.S.
