Medical equipment, implants, and diagnostic devices
Synthes
DePuy Synthes is initiating a recall of certain lots of the Craniomaxillofacial Distraction System (AB Distractor Bodies and BC Distractor Bodies) because they may reverse post-operatively.

A screw set was returned from the field for destruction after being exposed to flood water, which was erroneously reprocessed and returned to the field. Initial investigative testing indicated the components within the set may be cytotoxic.
ICU Medical is recalling the BD PosiFlush Sterile Field Saline Flush Syringe because some unit packages may exhibit open seals which impacts package sterility and potentially product sterility.
Ortho Development is recalling various Pivot Bipolar Cup, Patella, PS Tibial Insert, UC Tibila Insert, and CK Tibil Insert because the foil pouches did not properly seal, allowing air to seep back into the pouch after sealing which increases the risk that the material properties of the implant would be substantially degraded due to oxidation.
Zimmer is recalling various trauma screws that failed a leak test due to damage of the inner cavity only.
Philips Medical Systems
Philips IntelliSpace ECG (IECG) Management Systems that are importing Stress ECG records from a Quinton Stress ECG system have the potential for the patient record to contain multiple and therefore inaccurate patient identifiers such as: patient name, patient ID (PID), Medical record number (MRN). This creates the potential for misdiagnosis and incorrect therapy.
Units may be labeled with the incorrect diopter power.
Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics
Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics has received complaints for the Dimension Chemistry Wash (RD701) of QC and patient sample result accuracy shifts on Troponin I, CTNI (RF421C), LTNI (RF521C); Free T4, FT4 (RF410); Thyroid Stimulating Hormone, TSH (RF412); and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide, PBNP (RF423A) and LPBN (RF523A) when using Dimension® Chemistry Wash lot RD41041.

Brainlab Navigation Software Spine & Trauma 3D 2.0/2.1 offers automatic registration of intraoperatively acquired CT image data sets. To enable automatic registration, the software requires the gantry position of the scanner. The gantry position can either be entered manually or submitted automatically from the CT scanner. If automatic gantry communication is available, the so-called "
