During an internal investigation, ACS identified that several components were "piggybacked" to ACS trays and subjected to the ACS sterilization process. There is no supporting documentation stating the "piggybacked" components were assessed to determine if they were suitable for exposure to elevated temperatures for an extended period of time and further exposure to sterilization. As a result, the piggybacked components may (1) have a loss/lack of functionality, (2) loss of drug efficacy, if applicable, and (3) may have had higher than specified EO residuals.
Needle Holder MB215R was inadvertently distributed as MB362R. Similarly, MB362R was distributed as MB215R during the affected distribution date range. The issue may lead to a short delay in procedure.

Medline Industries, LP is issuing a recall for specific item(s) and lot(s) of Various Adult Blood and Blood Culture Kits. This recall is due to kits built using a Bactec component lot and expiration date that were not reflected on the kit insert. There is a risk of using an expired component if the user does not check the Bactec inside the kit for its expiration date.

The Quadrature Body Coil (QBC) seal adhesive may fail, creating sharp edges that may come in contact with patients. If the QBC seal becomes loose during the scanning process, the risk to the patient may include skin abrasions, bruises, lacerations, hair loss/entanglement, and tissue injury.
