Disposable T-Piece circuits used with resuscitation systems are unable to achieve maximum Peak Inspiratory Pressure (PIP) during the pre-use check out procedure.
Zimmer Spine has received reports of the PEEK Ardis Interbody Spacer breaking into fragments when too much lateral force is applied to the Ardis Inserter. If the PEEK Ardis Interbody Spacer breaks during implantation, surgical delays of up to 60 minutes could occur. Sharp edges of the broken implant may contact and damage adjacent structures, requiring surgical intervention. Observed health risks
A recall communication was initiated because Beckman has identified that Access Total T4 calibrator lots 019818, 021654, and 024072 do not meet their 12 month expiration date claim.

The barcode for the ABL77 on the insert incorrectly enters a control range for pH of 7.90-7.95 into the analyzer. The insert correctly states that the control range is 7.40-7.45.
Certain COBAS AmpliPrep instruments using AMPILINK software v.3.3.4 had the sample clot detection flagging feature disabled during quality control release resulting in samples that may not be flagged as having clots.
It has been determined that, in some cases, pulley drive components have broken parts or have become loose, mispositioned, or disconnected from their drive shafts. When these defects occur, the pulley may not turn at all, or may turn at an incorrect speed, resulting in inadequate washing or mixing of the contents of the reaction vessel.
The Flowtron Trio DVT Pump has been marketed without proper FDA Approval.
Philips is issued a Field Change Order to update Extended Brilliance Workspace (EBW) systems to software version 4.5.5. The update will provide a number of improvements to address nonhazardous reliability issues which will improve the overall quality and functionality of the EBW.
An Engineering Analysis has determined the Solution Calcar Stem has the potential to result in impingement with a variety of heads. This impingement may not allow the stem and head to lock as intended. The amount of possible impingement varies depending on the femoral head. Worst case condition: Calcar stem with -2mm offset articuleze maximum of 0.937mm radial impingement. It is evident that a

Bayer HealthCare is recalling all MEDRAD(R) Continuum MF Infusion System tubing sets (macrobore and microbore), catalog numbers MIK200A, MIL 200B, 3015153, 3015155, 3015156, 3015157, 3015158, 3015159, and 3015161. The firm is initiating this recall because this tubing exhibits a variation that, when used in conjunction with any Continuum pump, may result in flow rate accuracy performance issues.
All lots of the Persona Cemented Tibial Drill, 5 Degree Cemented Stemmed Natural Tibia implants, and associated tools including the Tibial Drill Guide, Broach, and Sizing Plate are being removed and replaced with enhanced products and instruments to reduce risks of tibial perforation which could result in tibial bone fracture due to the stress riser created by a perforation; tibial plate loosening
