VariSoft infusion set, Model Number 1002828
Unomedical A/S
The Varisoft infusion set is used in conjunction with tandem insulin pumps. The defect reported was damage to the connector piece during manufacturing. This damage results in the connector becoming detached more easily from the insulin set than expected, requiring less force to disconnect than intended. Disconnection, when not detected, for example during sleep, leads to missed basal dosing. which in turn can result in elevated blood glucose and ketone level (nocturnal hyperglycemia). Diabetic ketoacidosis.hyperglycemia). Diabetic ketoacidosis.
A small percentage of devices in three lots of product may contain a tape with a natural rubber latex adhesive which is not declared on the label
Channel air drying process was not validated, and that a small percentage of scopes returned to customers after repair had a wet channel. Water remaining in the channel of the endoscopes has the potential for contamination that could lead to the risk of infection

Internal testing identified that the GEM Premier PAKs (cartridges) may exhibit an over-recovery (i.e., positive bias) of pO2 results in the low range (at pO2 levels less than 60 mmHg) that are outside of labeled performance specifications for pO2. The positive bias may lead to false positive for medical decision levels at pO2 < 60 mmHg, which may result in failure to detect and/or adequately treat hypoxemia and lead to a delay in treatment. The quality control procedures for the Non-iQM GEM Premier 3000 may not detect the non-conformance.

The Mo.Ma Ultra device manifold is labelled with 2 stickers, an inferior and superior sticker, one on each side of the manifold. These stickers label the common carotid artery (CCA) proximal balloon and external carotid artery (ECA) distal balloon inflation and deflation ports. Both sides of the complaint units manifold were labelled with the superior label leading to an incorrect identification of the proximal and distal inflation /deflation ports when viewing the devices from the inferior side.
