The wrong movement results on the MAGNUS OR table. The button commands on the TEGRIS touchscreen for Lower Leg Up and Upper Leg Down are switched in the software for the integration with the MAGNUS operating table system.
CD8 (Leu-2a) PE (In vitro diagnostic), Catalog number 340046. Hematology: Single color direct immunofluorescence reagent for enumerating percentages of mature human suppressor/cytotoxic (CD8+) lymphocytes in erythrocyte-lysed whole blood or peripheral blood mononuclear cell suspensions.
BD Biosciences, Systems & Reagents
One lot of CD8 PE is contaminated with CD4 FITC and may cause an unexpected staining pattern and incorrect patient data.
Anti-Lambda APC-H7, Catalog Number 656157. Product Usage: Intended for in vitro flow cytometric immunophenotyping of hematologic disorders.
BD Biosciences, Systems & Reagents
Two lots of the Anti-Lambda APC-H7 antibody are contaminated with CD38 antibody.
Reports of customers falling from the Inversion Table and sustaining injuries. The Inversion Table is a fitness product, not a medical device. DSG removed medical claims from product labels and advertising.
The product (wool wrist loop) was manufactured 7cm shorter than product specifications.
GE Healthcare has recently become aware of a potential safety issue involving the breakage of the two steel cables which support the bucky device in the wall stand of Proteus XR/a X-ray imaging systems. No injuries reported.
iPlan RT Radiation Treatment Planning Software: Potentially incorrect patient positioning when using multiple localized CT image data sets.
Device may malfunction, which could cause therapy to be delayed, disabled, or delivered inadvertently.
Symbia T and Symbia T2 computer tomography systems. These systems are used to perform SPECT, CT, and SPECT + CT scans and imaging studies.
Siemens Medical Solutions USA
There are confirmed reports of a component coming loose inside the CT enclosure and damaging the system. components.
Potential failure and/or corrosion of the internal spring of the retractor, which may have been manufactured from an incorrect material. Surgical delay may occur. Spring particles could transfer from the instrument to the patient, and may lead to an adverse tissue reaction and/or infection.
A low level of surface and subsurface contamination of Listeria monocytogenes on 9 lots of non-sterile prepared plated media containing sheep blood, typically visible immediately upon removal from the packaging. The contamination is typically observed as 1-3 CFUs per plate when present.
Three lots of MUM-1 may not meet their labeled shelf life, as a drop in staining intensity over time has been observed.
The inner diameter of the Sleeve shaft is undersized, resulting in interference fit when inserting the Anchored Lateral Straight Retractable Awl or the Anchored Lateral Straight Retractable Drill into the Sleeve.
Software Anomaly: the firm has identified an anomaly with VITROS System Software Version 3.1 and below, and determined that the software may not properly identify an expired calibration.
A crack may develop in the handle to the Inline Persuader, which may progress if the user continues to use the affected instrument.
SOMATOM Force; the intended use of computed tomography is to produce cross-sectional images of the body by computer reconstruction of x-ray transmission data from either the same axial plane taken at different angels or spiral planes taken at different angles.
Siemens Medical Solutions USA
Artifacts are found in acquired imaging on the SOMATOM Force.
Columbia Agar with 5% Sheep Blood Columbia Agar with 5% Sheep Blood is a general purpose culture medium used for the growth and recovery of fastidious microbial species.
