Potential for fluorescein interference to cause inaccurately elevated results for certain Tosoh AIA assays

Potential presence of rust on Coupler Forceps (GEM4183C).

Potential compromise of product sterility due to breach of sterile barrier.

Abbott has become aware of a manufacturing issue that can result in damage to a bottle neck in some of the reagent cartridges found in the lots listed in Appendix A. If a bottle neck is damaged, it may cause a failure during the reagent loading process on the Alinity i instrument.

Incorrect expiry date of 9-Feb-20 Correct expiry date is 30-Aug-19

Reports of occurrences in which insulin pumps with version 4.10 software have failed to make expected audio sounds during alerts, alarms or sirens. This could cause a user to miss system notifications, alarms or sirens associated with how the pump is working, and with high and low glucose alerts.

Calibration issue not possible to visualize contrast uptake in the subtracted mammography images

lack of 510K

The VITEK¿ 2 Systems Software Version 9.01 software may display incorrect organism identification information as well as the associated Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (AST) results when using the VITEK¿ 2 FLEXPREP" feature.

The lens bonding was incomplete on the refractor.

Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics has identified an issue with Dimension Vista software v.3.7 and v.3.8.1 that may result in aliquot well contamination. If a test is cancelled by the operator while the instrument is aliquotting the sample, the Dimension Vista instrument may continue to deliver the cancelled sample or vial contents to the aliquot well(s). Future samples may be assigned to the same aliquot well(s) and become contaminated with the existing contents or overflow of the aliquot well may occur potentially contaminating a surrounding well(s). This issue only occurs when an operator manually cancels a test(s) for calibration, quality control (QC) or patient sample while the instrument is in the process of aliquotting the sample.

Issue #1 affects Software Versions 6.0 SP7, SP7.0.1, SP7.0.2, SP7.0.3, SP8, SP8.0.1, SP8.0.a and SP8.0.2. When an image is flipped horizontally and vertically, the orientation markers appear correctly on the image to which they were applied. However, once new image rendering happens on this image or series (with scrolling; playing cin¿; maximizing or changing viewports/layouts; or synchronizing viewports and resizing the browser), the new image orientation is correctly maintained but the display of orientation markers can become incorrect. Issue #2 affects Software Versions 6.0 SP7, SP7.0.1, SP7.0.2, SP7.0.3, SP8, SP8.0.1, SP8.0.a, SP8.0.2, SP9 and SP9.0.1. When an image in a series is flipped and then rotated in Zero Footprint Viewer (ZFP), the orientation markers appear correctly on the image to which they were applied. However, once you navigate to another image in the series and the image you navigated to has a different orientation than the prior image from which you navigated, the new image orientation is correctly maintained but the display of orientation markers can become incorrect.

Table may drift in the roll position while in use

Instead of having a spherical diameter, the probe was observed to have 2 radii and a flat surface. Additionally, upon further investigation, it was observed that some parts exhibited an edge on the intersection between the radius and the diameter of the probe.

Software anomaly may incorrectly extend the on-analyzer stability time for a loaded VITROS Reagent.

The firm received consumer reports of the ceramic trocar tip of the Emprint ablation antenna disengaging from the needle shaft post-ablation. This can result in the tip remaining in the patient.

There are 3 issues: 1) Under certain conditions, real time waveforms may not be accurately plotted or displayed. 2) The oxygen saturation (SpO2) numeric value displayed on the device may freeze. 3) In auto cycle mode, if the NIBP communication is lost, the pump would not cycle and the non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) numeric value displayed on the device would not update.

Correction to update the surgical technique for the Compress System. To make users aware of the changes that were made only to the selection criteria section on page 42 regarding which array to use in the placement of the anti-rotation pins.
