Medical Devices Recalls

Automated external defibrillators were shipped in their test configuration so there is a potential to have incorrect language, and CPR duration resulting in the device prompting users to perform CPR for 5-seconds, and it could analyze heart rhythm and instruct users to deliver a shock every 5-seconds if a shockable heart rhythm is detected, potentially leading to no therapy or delayed therapy.

GE HealthCare has become aware that the bedside panel of Care Plus, Care Plus¿ Model 1000, 2000, 3000 and 4000 Incubator, Lullaby Incubator, Lullaby TR Incubator, and Lullaby XP Incubator can be upright and look closed but not be latched if the red indicator is visible. The portholes also can look closed when not latched when the portholes are obstructed e.g., hood covers. If a patient impacts the bedside panel or porthole that is not latched, the panel can disengage and fall open, no longer protecting the patient from falling.

While performing a fluoroscopy examination, there is a potential that the Radio Fluoroscopy (RF) viewer will also display a previous patient's radiography images. If the issue occurs, there will be differences in image content, image format and image size.

The firm has become aware of a sudden increase in complaints for three associated lots. Performance issues may lead to impaired embryo development prior to the blastocyst stage.

Due to a trend in false positive Candida tropicalis results on blood culture panel when using certain BD BACTEC vial mediums

Devices may not be rendered sterile due to an internal gap that may be present on some devices causing increased difficulty cleaning prior to steam sterilization. There is an increased risk for infection, inflammation, local toxicity, systemic toxicity, sensitivity, and cross-contamination.

There is a possibility of reproducibility, accuracy, and/or QC failures in antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST) for H. influenzae. This may cause product discard, delayed results, or additional adverse diagnostic outcomes, such as a delay in diagnosis, the selection of inappropriate antibiotics, or extended duration of antibiotic exposure and the treatment process.

There is an issue with the Access Ultrasensitive Insulin assay protocol file (APF) for use with the DxI 9000 Access Immunoassay Analyzer (APF 182 test definition version 6.7 and below). The Access Ultrasensitive Insulin APF applies an incorrect conversion factor when converting from system default units of ¿IU/mL to the International System of Units (SI units) of pmol/L.

Incorrect component descriptions within the "Contents" section on the Tyvek lid for individual kit trays.

Their is a potential for false positive results when using Pneumonia panel.

The expiration date is missing from the primary (inner) packaging. The secondary (outer) box label correctly states the expiration date of February 12, 2033, for this lot

Detector may unexpectedly fall due to a component failure. If the detector is positioned below center of gantry, there is a potential for abrasion, contusion, laceration, and/or fracture to the patient's lower limbs, as well as an interruption to normal system operation. If detector is positioned above center of gantry, there may be an interruption to normal system operation.

Rotating adaptor O-ring manufacturing defect impacting seal integrity which may lead to a leak during infusion of medication.

Water filter may have been assembled incorrectly, resulting in unfiltered tap water being used for reprocessing. This may expose a patient to a potentially contaminated device, presenting a risk of infection or sepsis.

Potential cybersecurity vulnerability that could lead to a Denial of Service (DoS) attack, tampering, or remote code execution via remote login to the Flow Anesthesia System, any of which could lead to a hazardous situation.
