Due to an observed trend of neurovascular events

Due to the inner diameter of the suction tubing connector being smaller than the suction canister lid port connection. This size difference, combined with the durometer of the plastic material, makes the assembly to a suction canister lid port difficult. This could result in inadequate suction and cause a delay in patient care.

Customer-designed sterile surgical procedure packs contain latex components as specified; but, the content label sealed within the transparent sterile pouch contains the symbol for a latex-free product. If users or patients with latex sensitivity come into contact with latex, an allergic reaction may occur.

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.

Tissue approximation straps (zip-ties) have broken before or during implantation so firm developed an interim zip-tie conditioning method submerging zip-ties in 104-degrees F sterile saline solution for 60 min prior to implantation to rehydrate the zip-tie straps. Broken zip-ties not observed during procedure could lead to future hernia recurrence, recurrent surgery to correct a large herniation.

Study data is not able to be archived, copied, or exported with the cardiovascular software version.

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

Complaints of the locking screw passing through the locking hole intra-operatively during use of the A.L.P.S. mvX Medial Tibia plates and Anatomic Lateral Fibula. r surgical delays have been reported with the use of the devices

Error in the IFU lists an incorrect incubation time on one occasion of 20 minutes rather than the correct incubation time of 60 minutes.

For certain MR systems, a scan can be resumed following a Power Monitor trip when the "6-minute average SAR" is above the limit indicated on the "SAR Display". The user interface may incorrectly enable a scan to proceed earlier than intended. If resumed by the operator, such a scan can result in potential excessive tissue heating, especially if the patient is in contact with a conductive material or has an implant.

Due to User Manual/Direction for Use incorrectly instructing user to leave the safety clamp in the open position when reloading an infusion set. This issue potentially could result in an accidental over infusion if the roller clamp is left open.
