Unit boxes not properly sealed

Tube trays may leak which could invalidate patient results or assay worklists, causing delayed results for any assays with which they are used. A possibility exists of false negative result with flu A/B/RSV assay or paraflu assay.

Rotor bearing screws were found loose on detector.

MicroPort Orthopedics Inc. states that there have been reports of fractures of the long and extra-long Titanium modular femoral neck component after implantation. Worldwide there were 680 Long and X-Long PROFEMUR Titanium modular neck fractures among 123,840 global sales representing is a cumulative rate of modular neck device fracture of 0.55% from 2002 to 2019. Within the United States there were 349 Long and X-Long PROFEMUR Titanium modular neck fractures among 15,786 United States sales representing a cumulative rate of modular neck device fracture with a fracture rate in the United States of 2.21% from 2002 to 2019. There is an average time of 5.4 years to device fracture after implantation.

The increased level of RPR reactivity in the BioPlex 2200 Syphilis Total & RPR kit material number 12000650.

Decreased stability for five (5) lots of Calibrator Sets and Calibration Verification Test Sets, resulting in a decrease measured concentration of HCG up to 20%.

The firm has received reports concerning the patient fiducial disk separating from the body and users attempting to re-assemble the device. The use of a re-assembled patient fiducial could lead to inability to navigate or inaccuracies such as improper needle trajectory.

Instruction For Use (IFU) references incorrect serial number of 90437000. It should state This document applies to ROTAFLOW Consoles as of serial number 94175452 affected by the implementation of the new IEC standard 60601 1 2, 4th edition

COVID-19 Interpretive Software issues that may cause: 1) the risk of invalid or inconclusive tests/false negative and potentially increasing the retesting burden on customers. 2) false positive results due to improper vortexing.

lntegra LifeSciences has identified through a number of complaints that the handpiece cable melts following sterilization.

An update to the carryover avoidance technical bulletin to introduce additional steps for reagent carryover avoidance with the Lactate Dehydrogenase assay on RX Instruments. Additional pipette washes can be implemented as described in the technical bulletin. Interference to the Lactate Dehydrogenase (LOH) reagent would be observed as inconsistencies in Quality Control recovery, which may lead to a delay in running patient samples, or erroneous elevated test results.

Internal testing at the supplier, revealed that a crimped wire was placed into an air bubble detector (ABD) sensor connector backwards, preventing the crimped wire from locking into the mating wire connector. This intermittent connection may result in false air bubble alarms.

Firmware of the Sysmex XN-9000/XN-9100 Interface Module (IM) and of the Track to Rack Module has the potential to mis-associate sample IDs leading to incorrect results or delayed results
