One lot manufactured with an invalid sterilization cycle.

Potential for barb non-engagement.

The patient support table (couch) may descend unexpectedly to the lowermost position due to a component (ball screw) misalignment after a replacement.

Systems may not perform as intended due to the deterioration of certain internal components (the CMOS battery, hard disk drive, and/or power supply unit). If this deterioration occurs, motorized movements of the system will become unavailable. Manual movements of the stand (longitudinal, transversal and rotational for ceiling mounted systems and rotational for floor mounted systems) and table longitudinal movements remain available. Imaging (X-ray) functionality remains available.

Their is the potential for weak staining which may result in false negative CD20 identification.

Lack of a 510(k) premarket clearance for the i-STAT CG8+, EG7+ and EG6+ cartridges to reflect updated sample type for potassium and ionized calcium and measurement ranges for pH and PO2.

Field action to clarify the flow rates and inlet fluid temperatures, along with location of the outlet temperature for Ranger Blood/Fluid Warming High Flow Sets.

Labeling includes shelf life that has not been validated.

Due to a faulty electrical connection between the speed control Dial and the wheelchair motor, their is a potential for lost of control of the device potentially resulting in minor or major injuries.

Three failure modes have been identified: failure of the Heartstring Seal to load, failure of the Heartstring Seal to deploy into the aortotomy, and failure of the deployed Heartstring Seal to provide adequate hemostasis.

Labeling includes shelf life that has not been validated.

The subject product emits unsafe level of UVC radiation (i.e., the product reaches the exposure limit for Risk Group 3 (high risk) in about 2.2 minutes). The product has a radiation safety defect, in that these radiation emissions are unnecessary to the accomplishment of the product s primary purpose of disinfecting objects and surfaces, and create a risk of skin and/or eye injuries to user and nearby persons.

Lack of a 510(k) premarket clearance for the i-STAT CG4+ cartridge to reflect updated sample type for lactate and measurement ranges for pH and PO2.

Hematology analyzers configured with HGB photometers may result in erroneously high hemoglobin (HGB) results on samples with elevated white blood cell (WBC) counts.

Foley catheter trays have incorrect inserts, user may think:1)Silicone, when it's natural rubber latex, or 2)Natural rubber latex with infection control coating, when it's silicone hydrogel with antimicrobial coating, or 3)Natural latex with infection control, when it's silicone hydrogel coated without antimicrobial coating, which may cause infection and/or local and/or systemic allergic reaction
