Non-conformances in Veran devices (ig4 Image Guided System, SPiN Thoracic Navigation System, SPiN Planning Laptop Workstation, and all associated navigation instruments) manufacturing to design requirements and insufficient evidence to demonstrate adequate electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). EMC is the ability of electrical equipment and systems to function acceptably without interference and to not interfere with other devices within its operating environment

Bard Peripheral Vascular
Diameter mismatch between coaxial and biopsy needle (cutting cannula) in disposable core biopsy instrument kits, where the coaxial cannula inner diameter prohibits the biopsy needle (cutting cannula) from properly fitting into the coaxial cannula and accessing target tissue, which may lead to repeated procedure, and procedural complications, such as pain/discomfort, pneumothorax, and bleeding.
Boston Scientific
Stryker Neurovascular has observed that certain lots of Guider Softip XF Guide Catheters appear to have the incorrect tip curve shape. The impacted products were distributed with a tip curve shape which differs from the labeled tip curve shape.

Skin grafts thin and non-uniform when using the affected blades. The issue would be identified at the time of use and may result in the need for additional harvests to adequately cover the area

Under certain conditions, an issue might prevent the device from performing as intended. A specific sequence of commands on the control unit activates the traction drive and triggers an unintended driving (autodrive) of max. 7 sec. may result in the following reasonably foreseeable injury or damage to the health of patients and/or users
ARROW INTERNATIONAL
This recall has been initiated due to reports that the product code and product name were incorrectly listed on the lidstock of affected kits.
Some catheter kits labeled as 23 cm implant length incorrectly included catheters of 28 cm implant length; the actual catheter implant length is identifiable based upon the correct labeling on the catheter body.
Sterile barrier might be damaged compromising the sterility of the device.
ARROW INTERNATIONAL
This recall has been initiated due to reports that the product code and product name were incorrectly listed on the lidstock of affected kits.
Orthopedic device components were not subjected to final sterilization before shipment, which if implanted may lead to varying degrees of infection, which may require treatment, prolonged monitoring, and may lead to revision surgery

When the control of the operating table was used in Bluetooth mode, the operating table continued moving even after releasing the button on the control. Originally, the root cause was thought to be confined to Bluetooth/wireless communications between the control pendant and the surgical table. However, during investigation, Mizuho discovered that the failure could be replicated even in wired mode if communication between the pendant and table were somehow interrupted. The root cause appears to be: if communication between the controller and table is interrupted while a button is pressed, the table does not know if/when a button is released. This occurs in wireless or wired mode.
Edwards Lifesciences
Due to a manufacturing issue, when using valve repair systems, intended to repair insufficient mitral and/or tricuspid valves, users experienced resistance when attempting to release the implant from the delivery system by rotating the release knob. Additional torque required to initiate rotation of the release wire from the implant, could cause implant rotation or additional implant implantation.
Potential for current software to miscount when scanning in multiple sponge-products from the same unique sponge-pack type
