Medical Devices Recalls

Under certain conditions, when using DICOM Worklist along with DICOM MPPS, a report for a bone density exam may be sent to PACS with the incorrect patient information in the DICOM header. The correct patient information will be listed on the DICOM report image; however, the report may appear under a different patients name in the PACS.

The invasive pressure visual and audible alarms may not activate.

Three lots of Human Fetal Hemoglobin FITC Conjugate are displaying high background and unusual bright staining in the controls and patient samples which could potentially lead to erroneous results (i.e. false positives)

Closing the Emergency Stop may disable the horizontal motor, allowing the couch top to move during patient load or unload activities.

Potential risk for helium gas inside the MR examination room during a magnet quench

Pump was found to be constructed from crimp connectors that do not meet the fixation wiring requirements and can cause failure of the device to operate or electric shock or burn to the user.

Certain lots of M-30D diluent used with BC-3200 and BC-3600 Hematology Analyzers and M-53D diluent used with BC-5390 Hematology Analyzers may cause the system to produce an elevated platelet background count.

These products contain latex, but the following statement is not included on any level of product packaging: Caution: This Product Contains Natural Rubber Latex Which May Cause Allergic Reactions.

BMD has identified that the product code/lot number combination identified above may have ineffectively fused tubing and ENFit(TM) connector.

Certain lots of cardiovascular catheters may not be completely sealed and so sterility of the product cannot be guaranteed.

The infusion sets were manufactured with an incorrect spin collar.

During continuous postmarket surveillance activities, we have noticed a potential malfunction of individual foot controls of the type S-N1/S-N2. In case the error occurs, the foot control might not switch back to zero position when the pedal is released. Consequently, the motor keeps rotating. If this happens during automatic thread cutting or automatic screwing-in of implants, it may, in the worst case, lead to a serious injury of the patient.

Certain lots of cardiovascular catheters may not be completely sealed and so sterility of the product cannot be guaranteed.

VITROS TSH reagent lots have been found to generate higher than expected Calibrator level 2 signals on some customer systems. These Calibrator Level 2 responses cause a higher than expected frequency of customer generated calibration curves to fall outside of the calibration quality parameter measuring the gradient of the Customer Calibration Curve between Calibrator Level 2 and Calibrator Level 3.

One lot of D-RAD Self-Taping Locking Screws used with the Distal Radius Fracture Kit were machined out of specification. Screws measured over tolerance within the head thread form by 0.002-0.003 inch.

Orthofix is conducting a voluntary recall of the Connector System Large Set Screw (PN: 79-2002) with affected Lot Numbers 001 and 002, and Small Set Screw (PN: 79-2003) with affected Lot Numbers 002, 003 and 004. Through the company's manufacturing controls, size discrepancies were noted with the drive feature for both the large and small sets screws. As a result, it is possible that (1) the set screw drive feature will not accept the Set Screw Driver (PN: 79-1006) or (2) the driver may get wedged in the corners of the drive feature (false bottom) which may lead to a stripped set screw.

Three (3) lots were distributed with the incorrect expiry date on the label. The lots were labeled with an expiry date of five (5) years from date of manufacture instead of the correct expiry date of two (2) years from date of manufacture.

The NBP measurement of Intellivue X3 Patient Monitor shows intermittently only mean values instead of the diastolic and systolic blood pressure values. This is caused by a falsely detected NBP cuff, which is leading to wrong internal NBP setting. Furthermore, occasionally the Monitor shows the Check Touch Input message and the monitor is inoperable with the touch interface.

The infusion sets were manufactured with an incorrect spin collar.
