Domain Surgical, Inc. announces a voluntary field action for the FMsealer Open Shears due to fixed jaw fractures during clincal usage.
Sterility: Due to a potential incomplete seal on the outer sterile package.
Incorrect Urea results may be generated sporadically on cobas b 221<6>Roche OMNI S6 system and cannot be detected by QC. QC measurement results can be affected as well. This issue is only detectable if comparison result of a second measurement is available. The cause for this issue is an error in the software measurement procedure. In children, decreased urea results can point at inborn disorders or urea cycle. Therefore, false normal urea values could lead to delayed/incorrect diagnosis of such a disorder. Besides the patients most at risk, the risk for the overall patient population with falsely low or high values is considered remote. No severe adverse health effects are expected; but, unnecessary diagnostic measures may be initiated. Falsely normal results may result in further necessary examination not being carried out, with the possibility of a delay in the diagnosis and treatment. A medical risk cannot entirely be excluded.
