Medical Devices Recalls

Due to the incorrect mounting of the buzzer component, there is no acoustic signal during x ray activation. Otherwise, the system is fully functional, and x ray is applied correctly. By means of the additional visual indicator (exposure LED light) the operator can monitor the x ray release. Also, after a successful x ray exposure, the clinical image is displayed on the monitor.

Balloon-to-catheter weld failure that may cause loss of balloon pressure during stent deployment.

The patient positioning system can perform motions in unexpected directions, creating the potential for crushing of the patient between the patient positioning devices.

Their is a potential for battery pins to become loose within the defibrillator resulting in power issues.

This recall is being issued due to items within the kit have expired prior to the overall kit expiration date listed on the insert.

Their is a potential for battery pins to become loose within the defibrillator resulting in power issues.

The firm has identified that the Transferrin reagent does not meet the Instructions for Use (IFU) reagent on-board stability claims, which may cause control failures and/or erroneous patient samples results. The Complaint handling unit has received a total of 2 safety cases (CASE-2023-02027212 and CASE-2023-02045278) and 99 quality cases with the failure mode attributed to Transferrin reagent (OSR6152 / lot 2573) associated with reagent blank shifts for the Reagent 2 (R2), imprecision, calibration failures, erratic Quality Control (QC) recoveries, and/or erroneous high/low (serum, plasma, urine) patient results. The issue was confirmed through internal testing by Beckman Coulter on June 30, 2023. Reagent Blank shifts for R2, imprecision, calibration failures, erratic Quality Control (QC) recoveries, and/or erroneous high/low (serum, plasma, urine) patient results. The issue was confirmed through internal testing by Beckman Coulter on June 30, 2023.

A complaint investigation showed that the bulk pellets (lot 794-142) were contaminated with Aspergillus flavus.

Their is a potential for battery pins to become loose within the defibrillator resulting in power issues.

This recall is being issued due to items within the kit have expired prior to the overall kit expiration date listed on the insert.

For oncology users: If the user performed off-set reconstruction on CT device a shift could be observed on the contouring area of the primary and secondary images sets when using image fusion (on TPS) and incorrect coordinates may be sent to TPS system when using absolute patient marking. This may lead to incorrect radiation therapy planning and possible growth or spread of cancer due to incorrect early treatment regimen. For radiology users: If the user performed off-set reconstruction on CT devices, after multiple acquisitions, the Relate Position could be inaccurate. This could lead to incorrect diagnosis and treatment.

Potential for units suspended on the ceiling to fail and fall.

There is a risk of endobronchial combustion if high-frequency cauterization is performed while supplying oxygen [and/or] the electrode section of the electrosurgical accessory is too close to the distal end of the endoscope.

Endobronchial implant devices may have been labeled with a shortened expiration date but they can be used until the correct expiration date: 08 December 2024.

Products were stored outside of labeled temperature requirements.

Sterilization failures when devices are sterilized per the Reprocessing Manual due to lack of drying time for the endoscope channel.

An error was identified on the expiration date of the product label. The shelf life for the products impacted is 36 months (3 years) however the product label represents a 54 month (4.5 year) shelf life.

Potential for units suspended on the ceiling to fail and fall.

Inadvertent release of embolectomy catheters that may experience slower than normal balloon deflation (greater-than 15 seconds).

It was found that the fixation (weld) employed by the supplier of the nut bolt to the slide rail plate was insufficient. The deficient weld allows the nut bolt to break off from the slide rail plate with slight manual force.
