The support arm may unintentionally lower resulting in injury to persons when they are under the display ceiling/wall suspension when positioning the displays
GE HealthCare has become aware that for certain MR systems, the system predicted B1+RMS value can exceed the B1+RMS user prescribed limit when scanning in Low SAR Mode and the following two conditions are met: 1. 2D FSE T2 FLAIR OR T2 FLAIR Propeller imaging sequence is selected, AND 2. the Optimized T2 FLAIR sequence option is turned off OR not included in the MR configuration. If this occurs, it can result in overheating of an MR conditional implant.

Baxter Healthcare Corporation is issuing an Urgent Medical Device Correction for the PST 500 U Precision Surgical Table due to a potential issue with loose spring pins in the spindle drives. This can cause the tabletop to unexpectedly tilt or move at any time, even without active use of the surgical table. This could potentially result in unintentional patient movement during surgical procedures and/or preparation for surgical procedures, including transport.
Potential for defective test cartridges which may result in false positive results for the Staphylococcus lugdunensis and Enterococcus faecium targets.

Specific lots of TruDi NAV Suction Instruments 0 Degrees were incorrectly calibrated which when used with the TruDi Navigation System, may result in a discrepancy between the actual tip location and the visualized location displayed on the system.
Philips lntelliVue Patient Monitors MX400/450/500/550 Shipped or Upgraded with Incorrect Software Options. Changes were made to reflect some options becoming standard capabilities for software-version N.x. In the process, the entitlements of software options MOS, M06, and M20 were removed for software versions L.x and M.x. As a result of these changes Patient Monitors manufactured with or updated to the latest versions of software L.x or M.x will not offer the capabilities> Mmonitors with software version K.x may experience this issue too, due to software version K being out of support and the devices being provided with L.x entitlements offered by software options MOS, M06, and M20. Potential for incorrect or delayed treatment for the patient,

IFU for hookup were incorrectly reflected within hookup IFUs and online reference system, Hookup Lookup (HULU). Use of an incorrect hookup connection and/or parameter set may prevent an endoscope from being properly disinfected, which may present a risk of patient contamination or infection
Any single affected ventilator should only be used for the 10- year labelled service life, but if longer ventilatory support is required using more than one ventilator over time, the use of these devices for more than 14 years of cumulative duration may pose harm to health due to a volatile organic compound (VOC), 2-propanol, 1,3-dichloro released from some components in the ventilator gas pathway
