Medical Devices Recalls

Medline Industries, LP. has identified certain kits containing the recalled Medtronic lots of the DLP Vessel Cannulae. During manufacturing of the three listed lot numbers, product for model 30001 was incorrectly labeled as model 30000.

GE HealthCare has become aware that for certain Giraffe OmniBed and Giraffe OmniBed Carestation devices, the screw that secures the doors that cover the warmer heaters may not have been torqued to specification. This may lead to the doors becoming loose.

Certain serial numbers of the CV-190 do not start up properly because parts that deviated from the specification were assembled into the power supply unit.

Inflation devices may have a small hole in the sterile barrier of the device and use of affected devices may result in exposure to pathogens/pyrogens which could lead to infection.

Due to a manufacturing process resulting in holes/breaches in the Tyvek sterile barrier.

Firm identified two lots of reagents that are not meeting the sensitivity statement in the IFU

As part of our post market surveillance, we recognized that some customers are using flammable freezing sprays within the cryostat chamber. All flammable freezing sprays can potentially ignite and therefore can cause serious injuries. The flammability is indicated on the labelling of these sprays. The cryostat labelling, however, did not include any specific warning about usage of flammable freezing sprays prior to 2019.

Inflation devices may have a small hole in the sterile barrier of the device and use of affected devices may result in exposure to pathogens/pyrogens which could lead to infection.

Firm identified a potential risk for a fall hazard. When the end user is readjusting from the slouched seated position to an upright seated position, there is the potential for the movement to cause the backrest to lift out of the backrest holder and disengage from the unit.

Due to modified test kits being marketed and distributed without FDA Approval, Clearance or Authorization.

Boston Scientific has received reports indicating the grid mark overlay on the cross-sectional view did not present correctly when an OptiCross 18 Peripheral Imaging Catheter was connected to the AVVIGO+ Multi-Modality Guidance System while in either Live or Record mode. The Boston Scientific investigation determined that, due to a software anomaly, a 9-grid mark overlay is incorrectly displayed during Live mode when AVVIGO+ is connected to an OptiCross 18 Peripheral Imaging Catheter. Note that the correct overlay display for this catheter is the 15-grid mark overlay, which allows for a reference depth setting of 14.9mm for peripheral catheters. This software anomaly is limited to Live or Record mode. In Review mode, the correct 15-grid mark overlay is displayed, and the vessel image is correctly scaled to the appropriate size.

Beckman Coulter has become aware of an increase in customer complaints for intermittent IRISpec CB negative glucose control failure, resulting in false positive control results when used in conjunction with iChemVELOCITY Urine Chemistry Strips (PNs 800-7204 and 800-7212) on the iChemVELOCITY Analyzer. This issue may delay the reporting of patient results, with a worst-case scenario of a delay in diagnosis or treatment of metabolic disorders, kidney function abnormalities, urinary tract infections, and liver function.

Potential installation issue that could result in a fire hazard in the event of an interaction between a damaged Jaco arm and a wheelchair exhibiting electrical leakage.

Possible detachment of the Graft Tube shaft from the Graft Tube funnel head when it is not used as instructed by our surgical technique.
