Olympus is removing the statement of compatibility with a GreenLight Laser for BPH therapy from the Instruction for Use (IFU) due to the potential for a damaged tip during use of a laser probe.
Sponge forceps and towel clamps associated with small loose metal flakes potentially could detach from the components. Metal flakes on components may enter a patients surgical site undetected causing local reactions or possible foreign body reactions
Lab Kit, SKU DYLAB1018; Component No. 503581
MEDLINE INDUSTRIES, LP - Northfield
Specimen container included in kits is labeled as sterile, but has been identified to be non-sterile. Long-term consequences may include unnecessary treatment and/or prolonged hospitalization.

There is a potential for the product to activate without manual input when plugged into a power source or remain active after buttons are released. Unintentional activation of the device may result in localized burns to the patient or physician from electrical currents carried through conductive objects or fluids. Medical/surgical intervention may be needed to correct these injuries

The Venclose" RF Ablation Catheters may have been manufactured with internal wiring error. The red and yellow signal wires were soldered on swapped ports of the catheter PCB. This error in wire configuration would lead to power being applied through the proximal 3/4th of the heating coil, bypassing the thermocouple, which will then cause the generator to overdrive the catheter in an attempt to reach desired temperature set point. The wire attachment error causes the device to reach temperatures exceeding the levels intended for therapeutic efficacy, while the console is falsely indicating that temperature has not yet been reached, thus increasing the risk of harm due to excessive temperature.

The overlay of visual field test locations on a probability map, as presented in IMAGEnet 6 in the so-called "Hood Report", is not appropriate as it can imply a structure/function correlation for which clinical evidence is not provided
