Siemens issued a Customer Safety Notice to inform customers of a potential problem when using syngo.plaza. In some instances, it can happen that the laterality information in mammography images is not displayed and these images may not be properly aligned to mammography segments.

The operators manual does not fully describe the sequence of expected events that will occur when a specific operating condition exists. Specifically, if the user is adjusting the System 1 centrifugal pump speed via the Central Control Monitor at the same time an alarm condition occurs with configuration for a pump coast response, the labeling in the operators manual does not fully describe how the pump will react.

Medtronic is recalling 148 Affinity Pediatric Arterial Filters from 2 manufacturing lots because a limited quantity of filters may have a small breach in the filter media that may allow unwanted particulate or gaseous emboli to pass through the filter and the outlet of the device, which could result in serious injury to a pediatric patient including neurological damage, or potential patient death.
