Medical Devices Recalls

The swab stick collection device provided in a convenience kit expires prior to the kit expiration date.

Potential for the Persona Partial Knee Impactor Pad to fracture.

Certain iOS and Android App versions contain a program error (bug) in the Bolus Advisor feature. Due to a software bug, when the OS region of the phone setting is changed, the unit of measure within the app may unexpectedly change. This creates a risk the app might not transfer the blood glucose result or the user might not correctly input numerical values for carbohydrate used for bolus advice.

Adesign change to 3M(TM) Bair Hugger(TM) Full Access Underbody Warming Blanket, Models 63500 and 63700, can make these blankets more susceptible to unintended occlusion of airflow resulting in limited or partial inflation during use.

Unpaired lots of AU lyophilized chemistry calibrator level 1 and 2 have been distributed. Calibrator level 1 and 2 must be paired when used for calibration and cannot be used in any other combination. If lot numbers are not correctly paired, calibration can be run using incorrect set points which may generate erroneous results. QC failures could occur if incorrect pairs of calibrators are used.

Medtronic has discovered the product lot in question was noted as having a longer drill tip extension than what is indicated on the print specification.

Torn sheath liner material was detected at the proximal end of the device during internal product testing which may be the result of damage incurred during the manufacturing process.

The firm information that the product was reporting false positive results

The Panther or the Panther Fusion glass panel separates from the 19 inch touch screen monitor and could potentially fall and hit an operator.

B. Braun Medical Inc. (BBMI) initiated this recall of various BBMI convenience kits containing the 22GA 1-1/2in SafetyGlide Needle due to the presence of loose polypropylene foreign matter was above release specification. This foreign matter has been identified as a product hub material which has been tested for biocompatibility per ISO 10993 during the product development process.

Updated on-device label and 3 pages of an updated Operator/Service Manual. Also, decrease from 3.8 meters (m) to 1.0 separation distance between the device and RF communication equipment.

A software issue causes PET reconstructions to fail intermittently. It was determined that reconstructions fail due to a negative table position (-1 value is inserted) in the raw data list file, rather than the actual table position. This error has been found to occur in two scenarios: 1) When the system operator cancels an acquisition a. The error will occur every time a scan is cancelled by the operator. 2) Couch position requests within the software sequence were delayed a. The error occurs intermittently, but has been found to occur more frequently when the gantry s network is heavily loaded with multiple retrospective reconstructions running in parallel. b. The error manifests to the technologist by an error message and Failed status on the Reconstruction Monitor and the error message Result {0} failed to reconstruct" on the Acquisition Workflow window during reconstruction after the patient scan has been completed. In both scenarios, the acquisition data will not be able to be reconstructed and will therefore be unusable.

The NS357R Vega PS Tibia Trial/Preparation Plateau size T4 may be incorrectly labeled. If the incorrect size trial is used the potential risk is implantation of the incorrect implant size which may lead to injury of ligaments, pain and possible revision surgery.

The contract supplier notified DePuy Synthes on June 16, 2017 that the kit expiration dates do not align with the earliest expiration date of the component lots within the kit. Some kit expiration dates were later than the earliest expiration date of the component lots. The expiration dates of some components are earlier than that listed on the kit.

Incorrect device in the package. A package that was labeled as the CORAIL COXA VARA HIGH OFFSET STEM Collared Size 9 (Part No. 3L93709 / Lot No. 5291990), contained the CORAIL HIGH OFFSET STEM Collarless SIZE 14 (Part No. L20314 / Lot No. 5292130).

Central venous catheters may not fit over guide wire potentially causing procedure delay.
