A potential for protocol(s) with unintended patient orientation or scan setting when using Intelligent Protocoling

There is an increased likelihood of the introducer sheath separating at the proximal bond site. If separation occurs during use, it could result in life-threatening adverse events. The potential adverse events that may occur include, but are not limited to increased procedural time, intervention to retrieve a separated segment, embolization occluding blood flow to a vital organ, vessel injury, and hemorrhage.

Potential for spinning versions of male luers to exhibit leaks due to a molding defect. Fluid leakage may potentially cause delay of infusion, contamination of the fluid path, exposure to hazardous medications, blood loss, exposure to patient blood, or fluid path air-in-line.

Mislabeled product-Bactiseal Ventricular Catheter with Bactiseal Shunt System(823073) mislabeled as Bactiseal Endoscopic Ventricular Catheter (823087) and vs. versa

There is the potential for the compounding system to not immediately interrupt compounding and alert user to the presence of an air bubble exceeding 3% of the ordered volume for an ingredient. This could result in a a compounded drug that does not meet the specified accuracy range for an individual ingredient.

Suction button is reported sticky and/or broken during or after the procedure, may cause prolonged procedure

Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase (GGT) Reagent Low End Repeatability-Imprecision. Reagent may demonstrate a coefficient of variation (%CV) outside of the performance data for repeatability (within-run) listed in the Instructions For Use (IFU) on some analyzers.

Walkers within the identified serial range have the potential for the front fork to unscrew itself from the leg. A partially unscrewed fork creates unevenness in the wheelbase, which could cause instability, that if not detected by the user, may result in the front fork falling off the walker.
