Medical Devices Recalls

During endoscopic procedures using a combination of the video processor EPK-i8020c and the i20c series video endoscope, the observed image can become reddish or dark (1.8%). Users have observed smoke-like steam and noted that the light guide at the tip is hot during use / after the endoscope is removed from the patient, and may cause thermal injury to the patient's mucous membranes.

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

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.

Beckman Coulter has identified an issue which prevents the DxC 500 AU instrument from providing the correct onboard stability (Open Expiration) dates for assays that were loaded prior to a software upgrade (e.g. 1.3 to 1.4, 1.4 to 1.4.1, etc.). As a result, assays that have expired may still be used for sample processing, leading to inaccurate or erroneous patient test results. The issue only happens on assays loaded before instruments doing upgrades and does not impact new installation. It does not impact the assays loaded after upgrade.

A software application that receives digital images and data from various sources has a bug in specific software versions that will calculate the Standard Uptake Value (SUV) incorrectly for PET/CT studies acquired on the days of Daylight Savings Time (DST); only on dates in which DST transition occurs; all other dates are unaffected. An incorrect SUV may lead to an incorrect diagnosis.

Due to manufacturing non-conformance that resulted in channels in the seal on the packaging pouch. As a result, this could potential create a breach in the sterile barrier.

Multi-Function Ventilators were serviced using incorrect parts which have the potential to cause unexpected shutdown, or when using an active circuit could result in inaccurate tidal volume monitor, not triggering on patient efforts, less inspiratory volume, less inspiratory pressure, and less PEEP delivered.
