Medical Devices Recalls

In rare occasions, the combination of a leak of a highly flammable solvent at the ion source probe, and an electrical discharge may result in a flame on top of the probe and possible ejection of the electrode assembly from the probe. There is a risk to the patient/user, customer property, or environment because there is a potential for a health risk and property damage should the flame be left unattended. The failure causes a delay in patient results.

Stryker Neurovascular has observed that certain lots of Guider Softip XF Guide Catheters appear to have the incorrect tip curve shape. The impacted products were distributed with a tip curve shape which differs from the labeled tip curve shape.

Non-conformances in Veran devices (ig4 Image Guided System, SPiN Thoracic Navigation System, SPiN Planning Laptop Workstation, and all associated navigation instruments) manufacturing to design requirements and insufficient evidence to demonstrate adequate electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). EMC is the ability of electrical equipment and systems to function acceptably without interference and to not interfere with other devices within its operating environment

Diameter mismatch between coaxial and biopsy needle (cutting cannula) in disposable core biopsy instrument kits, where the coaxial cannula inner diameter prohibits the biopsy needle (cutting cannula) from properly fitting into the coaxial cannula and accessing target tissue, which may lead to repeated procedure, and procedural complications, such as pain/discomfort, pneumothorax, and bleeding.

A software issue prevents the monitor from alarming when the high/low acoustic respiration rate (RRa) limits are violated.

This recall has been initiated due to reports that the product code and product name were incorrectly listed on the lidstock of affected kits.

Ortho Clinical Diagnostics (QuidelOrtho) confirmed certain Proboscis/Piston Assemblies manufactured between 07-Apr-2022 (Date code: 040722) and 19-Dec-2022 (Date code: 121922) may not perform as intended due to an out-of-specification barrel component. This may cause VITROS VersaTips and/or VITROS MicroTips to be improperly seated on the proboscis, which may result in falsely elevated Gentamicin and Valproic Acid assay results as well as an increased frequency of condition codes resulting in delayed patient results. The issue was identified by internal testing when reported instruments failed to pass release testing and were traced to the molded Proboscis part J56639 with date codes from 040722 onward.

Skin grafts thin and non-uniform when using the affected blades. The issue would be identified at the time of use and may result in the need for additional harvests to adequately cover the area

Under certain conditions, an issue might prevent the device from performing as intended. A specific sequence of commands on the control unit activates the traction drive and triggers an unintended driving (autodrive) of max. 7 sec. may result in the following reasonably foreseeable injury or damage to the health of patients and/or users

Specific lots of 3M Attest Super Rapid Readout Biological Indicators (1492V), 3M Attest Super Rapid 5 Steam-Plus Challenge (41482V, 41482VF), and 3M Attest Super Rapid Readout Steam Challenge (1496V) may contain biological indicators with a cap that melts, deforms and/or cracks following a steam sterilization cycle of 132¿C and 135¿C.

After dispensing a timed dose medication for a patient, the automated dispensing cabinet software may continue to show the already dispensed medication dose is still available for dispense, which could lead to duplicate medication administration.

Power Management PCBAs may malfunction, causing a power failure leading to ventilator loss of function.

The display of inflow volume can reach its limit of 30,000 ml during long procdeure and the inflow volume display will freeze at the maximum value while the deficit will start counting backwards until 0 ml is reached and may result in fluid overload

The sterile blister packaging may be damaged, and sterility may be compromised
