Fresenius Kabi USA
The device may experience mechanical interference on the Fluid Valve pins, which will trigger a Pump Problem alarm. The issue may lead to delay or interruption of therapy. Depending on the therapy and duration of delay/interruption, the issue may lead to serious harm or death.
There is the potential that cooler-heater devices may contain bacterial contamination which could result in patient infection.
Karl Storz Endoscopy
The efficacy of the manual cleaning process cannot be assured for the affected injection needles intended for general surgery and visceral surgery, which if used, may expose the patient to a higher risk of infection.

Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics
RAPIDPoint 500 Systems Measurement Cartridges (with lactate) has the potential to affect the Sodium (Na+) sensor to produce a negative bias that could result in serious injury due to a delayed diagnosis of hypernatremia or unnecessary intervention for hyponatremia and result in iatrogenic hypernatremia especially if the true sodium result is near the thresholds of severe alterations, as well as cause a Question Result -----? error flag for multiple electrolytes on patient samples and quality control that may cause a delay of diagnosis or treatment.

Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics
Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics Inc. has confirmed a potential issue that could occur under certain conditions, a software problem is causing erroneous results to be printed. When the results are run on the epoc NXS Host and Delete Blood Tests feature is enabled, the results that are generated at the time of testing are correct; however, when this issue occurs, results that are printed, saved and/or transferred to a data manager, may include unselected analytes that are from a previous patient or QC test. The worst possible outcome may result in a failure to diagnose hyperkalemia, due to an erroneous depressed potassium level or inappropriate treatment to hyperglycemia due to erroneous glucose reading.

Exactech has received 3 complaints for 4 devices related to a loss of vacuum in the inner-most vacuum bag.
Firmware of the Interface Module with Roche Cobas 8000 and Cobas PRO (CO8 IM) may lead to a delayed sample tube processing.

Physio-Control
AC Power Adapter (ACPA) may not charge the monitor/defibrillator batteries and may not allow the monitor/defibrillator to power on while plugged into the ACPA.
Masks non-invasive interface for channeling airflow to patients have magnets that have potential magnetic interference with active medical implants that interact with magnets, and metallic implants/objects containing ferromagnetic material so contraindications and warnings about safe distance to medical devices/implants are being updated for patients using masks or anyone in close physical contact
