Software issue that may result in outdated automated programming request(APR) being sent to the progressive care unit (PCU).

GE HealthCare has become aware of a potential issue on certain Revolution CT and Revolution Apex series CT systems (please see affected product details and the Appendix) that can result in coolant fluid (glycol) leaking onto the floor near the base of the gantry. The fluid is visible as it has a blue color. It is not corrosive and is not at a harmful temperature. However, there is a potential for injury if the fluid is not noticed and a person slips and/or falls.

The forceps have been used in ways not covered by the design resulting in breakage of the clamps.

Device is missing the pin in the graft loader component.

The potential for devices to fail their self-test as a result of prolonged exposure to extreme environments (temperature and/or humidity).

The cannula tubes do not comply with the specification. The water jet emerging from the nozzle of the nonconforming cannulas may emerge as a spot jet rather than a fan-shaped spray jet.

All Medtronic MiniMed pumps (Paradigm series, Minimed 530G, 6XX series, and 7XX series) were found to have the potential for abnormal insulin delivery due to changes in air pressure, which can be found during airplane take-off or landing. An unexpected additional dose of insulin, which can occur during take-off, can result in severe hypoglycemia, altered mental status, seizure, coma, or death. An unexpected under-delivery of insulin, which can occur during landing, can result in severe hyperglycemia, dehydration, diabetic ketoacidosis, or death.

Possibility for the obturator to break (separate).

Patient chart stickers provided inside the packaging may incorrectly identify ET Rigid Abutments as Regular version whereas the actual product is a Mini version; and identify the ET Multi Abutments as Mini version whereas the actual product is a Regular version

Use of embolization device with diameters greater-than-or-equal-to 4mm may lead to incomplete wall apposition and/or braid deformation (fish-mouthing/braid narrowing/braid collapse) noted during procedure and post-procedure, typically noted at 6-12 month imaging follow-up, potentially can lead to thrombosis and/or serious adverse events. Higher risk in females less-than-or-equal-to 45 years of age

One component of the kit was shipped with an expiration date of 30Sep2024 while the Certificate of Analysis (COA) indicated an expiration date of 30Apr2025.

The machine side connector of the filter HME may be occluded by plastic which prevents proper airflow. The issue may lead to ventilation bag malfunction in which the user is unable to inflate/deflate properly during manual ventilation. Potential risks to health include oxygen deprivation, leading to respiratory distress and medical complications.

Batteries may deplete over time while not in use if devices are stored without being plugged in to wall outlet. Depleted batteries may lead to tablet connectivity issues.

Potential variability in calculations from fast array scans compared to array scans when operating on Hologic Horizon machines.

Affected lot (439363) exhibited a negative dose drop of -22% with native patient samples compared to alternate reagent lots. Patient samples tested with the affected lot may demonstrate repeatable falsely decreased results, which may lead to improper diagnosis or repeat testing.
