Endoscopy/bronchoscopy/urology devices may have a strain relief defect with some cart and tower power cords that may cause an electrical short, which may lead to system shutdown, which can lead to prolonged procedure or case conversion, and if the user (e.g., operating room staff) touches exposed wires or conductive fluids in contact with the exposed wires, there is a chance of electrical shock.
Respiratory pathogen panel may report an elevated rate (7.6% predicted probability of occurrence) of non-specific hMPV target (human Metapneumovirus) results, risk identified predominantly in clinical samples that present positivity for another target, leading to an erroneous co-infection result, can potentially result in hMPV false positives.
Material with a quality issue was used in contact lens production, so contact lenses may not meet quality and/or performance standards for the entirety of their labeled shelf life, and wearing these lenses may lead to temporary issues such as irritation, redness, or blurred vision.
Blood leak sensor, a component of hemodialysis device, may show decreased sensitivity, at the lowest level, specified as 0.35 mL/min blood leak rate, which could delay triggering the ALARM_DIALYZER_BLOOD_LEAK alarm, if blood loss, less-than 300ml, occurs, the patient may experience hypotension, fatigue, cramps, dizziness, headaches, nausea, and shortness of breath.
Devices from one lot of Perform" Reversed Inserts may contain a locking ring that was assembled upside down which would prevent the humeral insert from securely seating in the stem or spacer.
Sample preparation system with software may cause: 1) Multidispense feature enabled with 2-tube assay: Specimen volume dispensed into tube1 at least 3% higher than volume in tube2, or 2) Absolute counts calculated using Trucount Tubes: increased volume in tube1 may result in 20% higher absolute counts in tube 1 than tube 2; could result in additional blood collection, delayed results/patient therapy.
Pressure sensitive adhesive hooks attached to the sides of the anterior cervical orthosis collar panel can occasionally exhibit poor adhesion, which may lead to them gradually peeling off with repeated doffing, possibly leading to reduced immobilization of the cervical spine.
ACS identified that due to an inoperable chart recorder, humidity readings were out-of-specification in one of the controlled environment areas. As a result, ACS is unable to confirm product sterilization assurance requirements were met.
