During installation of the SmokeDetector Interlock, a connecting cable, between the SmokeDetector Interlock and the host PC, may not have been properly installed. This connection is used for service diagnostics and does not impact the functionality of the system and/or the SmokeDetector Interlock system.

The system operator is able to bypass the SmokeDetector Interlock system locking mechanism after a smoke detection by power cycling the system.

Increased force may be required to remove the LINK MP Monoblock trial hip stem (Sizes 14mm - 25mm),after impaction. Potential for prolongation of surgery or the surgical procedure may have to be modified due to this issue

There is an improperly performed weld between the cone of the sheath lock and tube of the obturator; mechanical load capacity is impaired, and fracture of the welded joint may occur. Contamination can occur in this capillary gap, which is not covered by the reprocessing validations performed.

Potential failure of a bearing adhesive joint that can occur due to an assembly issue of the X/Y stage of the handpiece. If a broken glue bond were to occur, it could cause an overlap of cores, potentially leading to prolonged healing and irregularities in patient skin texture post-treatment, and/or scarring

Revised OER-Pro, OER-Elite, OER-Mini endoscope reprocessor labeling- the LF-V and LF-P are no longer compatible endoscopes for reprocessing in the OERs. The addendum highlights the following changes: 1. Removal of LF-V and LF-P as compatible with the OER 2. Change conditions for ETO gas sterilization from 12% EtO to 100% EtO 3. Removing the reusable cleaning brush for the manual cleaning. Single Use brushes remain compatible

The C-arm, used to set the position and angle of the x-ray exposure field, may not function due to the tableside console PWB, which needs replacement. There may be a delay in the procedure, but procedures can continue using the operators console, the switches on the back of the column, switches on the side of the flat panel detector, and the emergency stop will continue to function normally.
