GE HealthCare has become aware of the potential for loss of monitoring on CARESCAPE Canvas 1000, CARESCAPE Canvas Smart Display, and certain versions of CARESCAPE B850 and CARESCAPE B650 monitors if, following the replacement of the CPU timekeeper battery, a mains power loss occurs during active monitoring. In the unlikely event that this occurs, it can result in the displays or monitors not turning on, after the mains power is restored. This can result in a delay in recognizing changes in patient condition until a replacement monitor is connected.

Software version 5.3 in: RAPIDPoint 500e Blood Gas System (USA) Siemens Material Number: 11416751 RAPIDPoint 500e Blood Gas System (China) 11416752; RAPIDPoint 500e Blood Gas System (Japan) 11416754; RAPIDPoint 500e Blood Gas System (ROW) 11416755 ;

Siemens Healthineers has identified an issue with the RAPIDPoint500e system software version 5.3. This issue affects how the sample source is identified at the LIS when using the capillary mode. With this software version, samples run in the capillary mode are incorrectly labeled as arterial when displayed on the LIS, leading to the potential for results to be flagged according to an established arterial range. Capillary sample results are correctly identified as capillary on both the RAPIDPoint 500e system display and the instrument printouts. The issue only affects the new software version 5.3 and only capillary sample mode is impacted. The inability to distinguish specimen sources for blood gas may lead to incorrect diagnoses and management decisions.
Internal product testing failed bubble leak testing (ASTM F2096), which indicates the sterility barrier may not be fully intact.
Stryker Hoffman LRF Wire Tensioner REF 4933-9-100, a component of the Hoffmann LRF System.
Stryker GmbH
The adjustment ring on the device may become loose resulting in the wire tension not being able to be set correctly.

Sight OLO CBC Test Kit, Model/Catalog Number: TK1. A disposable cartridge and sample preparation tools for use with the Sight OLO CBC analyzer.
SIGHT DIAGNOSTICS
One Test Kit lot (TK1-10114) shows a positive bias in the platelet count due to bacterial contamination which can result in elevated counts with a bias of 7.5 k/ul. This results in the test kit lot performing outside of the device specification.
