Potential small holes at the seam lines of Hemashield branches causing intra-operative bleeding at the seam lines of the branches of Hemashield grafts
The firm has discovered an issue associated with some Transesophageal (TEE) transducers that were not properly programmed during manufacturing. As a result, the system is unable to correctly measure the temperature on the distal tip of the transducer. This issue may result in affected transducers not initiating auto-cool during use which could result in patient injury

Delfi Medical Innovations, VariFit Contour Cuffs, single use adult thigh cuff, single port, single bladder, REF 9-9300-003. Rx Only, Sterile
Delfi Medical Innovations
Delfi Medical Innovations Inc has discovered that tourniquets cuffs in certain lots of the VariFit Sterile Single Use Thigh Cuffs, Single Port, Single Bladder models may have been manufactured with an inadequate perimeter weld on the cuff. Once applied to a patients thigh and inflated to a pressure to occlude blood flow in the thigh distal to the cuff, after a period of time the cuff may leak to the extent that the tourniquet instrument supplying air pressure to the cuff may not be able to adequately control and regulate pressure in the cuff. This may result in some blood flow in the thigh distal to the cuff.
During an FDA audit, it was discovered that the product was not properly registered with FDA.
It was determined that in rare cases persons can receive low dose of unintended radiation. The system performed exposures without the exposure button being pressed. Exposure will be released for less than 500ms, therefore, the overall dose is estimated at 0.01mSv or less than 500 mGy in total.
