The above-listed lots of Cardinal Health Medi-Vac CRD" Suction Canister Liners 1L may experience loss of suction on low or low intermittent suction settings, due to a misalignment of the liner with the outer hard canister.

Bandage Scissors handle cover component contains an incorrect color masterbatch resin carrier. This may allow a pink dye/residue to appear on the Bandage Scissors and/or sterilization pouches after processing.

Risk of polyimide particulate matter being present on the endoscopic harvesting vessel system. This issue may result in polyimide particulate matter being introduced into the arterial conduit for patients undergoing a coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) or peripheral bypass graft surgery.

A potential for a light system to fall in the operating room.

Olympus identified inconsistencies in the Instructions for Use regarding cleaning the fiber tip and fiber cleaving and stripping instructions. Following the current instructions presents the potential for the fiber to break during use, which may cause burns, procedure delays, prolonged surgery, and foreign body in patient.

The strippers and cleavers are provided non-sterile and labelled as reusable/autoclavable. Olympus does not have validated cleaning and sterilization instructions. Use of a non-sterile fiber stripper or cleaver on a sterile fiber poses a risk of contamination.

There is a manufacturing defect affecting specific rotator lots. Within this population, the inner diameter of the devices O-ring may be oversized affecting seal integrity. An inadequate seal may lead to a leak during infusion of medication which may potentially lead to under infusion of medication.
