Medical Devices Recalls

Specific lots of product have been manufactured with nonconforming raw materials.

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.

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.

Model 977006 Vanta INS batterty life has depleted faster than HCPs or patients expected leading to outpatient reprogramming or earlier than anticipated surgical replacements.

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.

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

May exhibit endotoxin levels greater than 2.15 EU/device, fever and inflammation may occur from endotoxin exposure and meningitis may only occur if there is contact with cerebrospinal fluid and thus, neurosurgical/spinal procedures may be considered a population at greatest risk.

Cook Medical is conducting removal of a lot of Check-Flo Performer Introducer Set due to complaints that the white caps that connect the shaft to the hub of these products may disconnect.

Software defect, when an image has non-square pixel spacing, the reference/localizer line is incorrectly placed on the scout image in the XERO Viewet, may display the incorrect crosshair/line position on the non-coplanar/scout image with respect to the axial slice location. Inaccurate placement of reference lines or crosshairs have potential risk of misdiagnosis or mistreatment due to unintended shifts in the display of anatomical locations.

Due to convenience kits containing a kit component that is under a recall action for improper use.

Devices with Option CP2 and initially programmed to software version P.01.01 were configured incorrectly at the factory. Therefore, Enhanced ECG Capabilities provided by Option CP2 were not enabled in these devices. Without Option C01 Full Arrhythmia, the device will not provide the yellow alarms for enhanced arrhythmia detection. This is a retrospectively reported recall from 6/14/23.

Due to two software anomalies that can occur within a spine procedure. Two issues are: 1. Navigation Orientation - when lateral orientation radiographic images are taken, information may appear flipped when utilizing the system (180 degree flipped). 2. Pop-up Message - when using CT+Fluouroscopy images with a slice spacing thickness greater than 2mm, the system does not display a pop-up message indicating the slice spacing is not optimal.

During extended operation of the MX40 with the PIC iX, the DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) lease can expire on the MX40. If the DHCP lease expires while the device is offline, upon reconnecting with the PIC iX, a new IP address will be assigned to the MX40. The PIC iX will not recognize the new IP address after reconnecting and therefore the expecting settings sync fails.

Quantum Surgical has become aware that a component (central axis) inside the Needle Guide product (product number 02-0027) is the subject of rust.

Labeling error with a mismatch between the shelf box serial number label and the serial number of the lead provided in the box.

Stryker has identified an issue with the characterization process that impacted the constant values assigned to the associated MICS Handpieces.

GE HealthCare has become aware of an issue in Centricity Universal Viewer Zero Footprint Client (ZFP) version v6.0 SP11.x where the latest report is not shown by default to the user. The issue may occur when a study has multiple DICOM structured reports (i.e. preliminary, final, and/or addendum) stored in different series.

CONMED Corporation (vendor) initiated a recall for select lot numbers of the Unimax Detachable Endo Pocket. The Detachable Endo Pocket is indicated for use as a receptacle for the collection and extraction of tissues, organs, and calculi during general and laparoscopic procedures. The tube inside the pouch, which detaches during the removal process, may stretch out from the pouch opening if it is not precisely fixed during the production process. Medline has identified that this product is utilized as a component within the Medline-branded convenience kits.
