Medical Devices Recalls

Baxter Healthcare Corporation is issuing an Urgent Medical Device Correction for the Novum IQ Large Volume Pump (LVP) and Novum IQ Syringe Pump (SP) due to software anomalies that may result in a blank Run screen (LVP and SP) and/or false motor movement system error (SP only).

Potential for missing pins at tip of inserter.

Packaging failures were identified which could lead to a breach in the sterile barrier.

Boston Scientific has identified a higher likelihood of air embolism events when procedures are performed without positive pressure-controlled ventilation. According to published literature and clinical data, in percutaneous procedures requiring transseptal access to the left atrium when conscious or deep sedation is used, patients have an approximately three-times higher risk (U.S. study) of negative left atrium pressure and air ingress. This risk is especially prevalent in patients with pre-existing low left atrial pressure, hypovolemia, and partial upper airway collapse.

Devices with firmware versions 2.3 and lower may experience timing variations between software tasks, which could result in skipping the necessary neutral check and the wheelchair producing unintended movement upon power-up when the joystick is out of neutral.

Packaging failures were identified which could lead to a breach in the sterile barrier.

The affected devices are the Dexcom G7 Continuous Glucose Monitoring System (CGM System) using iOS, watchOS and Android App software (versions 2.8.0 or earlier) and Dexcom ONE+ CGM System using iOS and Android App software (versions 1.4.0 or earlier), henceforth referred to as the App. The affected App does not provide an expected "Sensor Failed" alert when the transmitter sends a "transmitterFailed" error message to the App when the CGM experiences a hardware or firmware failure. Instead, the App ends the CGM sensor session, stops reporting glucose values and displays the Start Sensor screen or No active sensor message without alerting the user, which can lead to missed detection of a hyperglycemic or hypoglycemic event and a delay in treatment.

Surgical drape packs may have open seals, which may compromise the sterility of the product.

Potential that a component (air baffle) may be missing in some Nehalem FlexVision-2 PCs that are part of the Allura Xper series.

Certain CADD 50 mL and 100 mL Medication Cassette Reservoirs may exhibit weakened medication bag welds along the bag perimeter inside the plastic housing. This could result in medication leakage along the bag perimeter.

The catheters may not retain their shape.
