ReTurn 7500/7500 Aid, transfer
Handicare USA
During the period of April 2009 May 2011, Handicare AB used a wing handle in which the screw and handle, after repeated tightening, may slide apart. This causes a small amount of play in the attachment of the ladder, which in turn results in high load at the attachment holes of the ladder. Eventually, this may cause mechanical fatigue in the material of the ladder.
St Jude Medical is recalling implantable cardiac defibrillator (ICD) and cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator (CRT-D) devices because they are subject to premature battery depletion due to lithium cluster with the battery causing a short circuit.
Ortho confirmed that it is possible for the mis-association of sample identification and assay results due to an error with Thermo Fishers centrifuge module. It is possible for mis-associated assay results to be reported from the laboratory prior to the identification of the Cross Check error on the enGen Laboratory Automation System. Assay results associated with the wrong patient and reported out of the laboratory could lead to inappropriate intervention with the potential for serious injury to the patient.
