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
A backwards leak present in the integrated manometer of the patient valve allows for CO2 rebreathing.

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.
Anchor plugs potentially have metal burrs in the transverse holes of the device, preventing the drill or pins from passing through, may result in extension of surgery
Boston Scientific
Poor image quality due to fluid ingress in the lens.

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.

It has been found that potential unintended laser activation can occur without foot pedal depression.
Roche Diagnostics Operations
Elevated results were detected with Li-heparin plasma samples when compared to citrated plasma samples.
Musculoskeletal Transplant Foundation
Units are labeled as 10cc; however the units have a fill volume of 1cc units. This may result in prolongation of surgery.
Philips North America
Potential component failure in the Gradient Coil could product smoke and/or fire.
Affected infusion sets labeled as free of DEHP actually do contain di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP).

Sentinel CH SpA
A high recovery of Iron assay has been observed at some customer sites. Internal studies confirmed the positive shift of Quality Control and patient samples results, up to 15% for Iron Products (Alinity c Iron Reagent REF. 08P3920) to be used on Abbott Alinity Instrument and to 30% for Iron Products (IRON REF. 6K95-41 and IRON REF. 6K95- 30) to be used on Abbott Architect Instrument. When using the affected lots, there is a potential for delay in reporting patient results due to QC failure, also a potential for falsely elevated results.
