Medical Devices Recalls

Nonconforming product which was dispositioned for rejection was mistakenly released for commercial use.

An issue with the DL900 and DL950 Series Holter Recorder was recognized on January 1, 2020. This issue can prevent the recorder from operating normally. Braemar confirmed that beginning on January 1, 2020 if a AAA battery is inserted in the recorder and a user attempts to start it, the recorder will display Error: 602 and fail to function for a new patient study. There are no actions that a clinical user can take to clear this error. Even if this error code is displayed, existing ECG recordings stored on the device can still be downloaded via the standard Holter Application Software. Error 602 may be able to be cleared by technical or engineering staff at the customer site.

Non-sterile product was shipped to customers. Product package is labeled as both "STERILE" and "NON-STERILR" ; the product did not undergo sterilization process and is non-sterile. The usage of a needle that is not sterile could result in infection. Firm is not aware of any reports of patient harm.

When using the Rotor-Gene Q with Software version 2.3.4 completing a LIMs export, the .csv file reports the calculated concentration result value as a logarithmic value, and could lead to a false negative result, which could lead to serious medical consequences such as the suspension or non-initiation of treatment

There is a potential for erroneous propagation of the current tabletop positions when applying pitch or roll correction. Even though pitch and roll correction is never propagated, non-zero pitch or roll causes the lateral, longitudinal and vertical values propagated to be incorrect.

1)Error 255-XX-XXX results in inability to edit settings 2)Delay options programming may result in no KVO rate/therapy interruption 3)Software errors results in no low battery alarm/infusion stopping 4)Medium priority KVO/End of Infusion alarms may result in unrecognized infusion completion 5)Custom concentration data entry errors results in concentrations being lower/higher than medication orders

A patch was released for a critical remote code execution vulnerability in remote desktop services. This vulnerability can be exploited remotely without authentication on certain operating systems. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could execute arbitrary code on the target system; then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. If the vulnerability could be exploited locally, it would lock down the computer.

It has been determined that some units of catheters were not tightly connected to the thumb port. This may result in the catheter disconnecting from the thumb port which could reduce the suction performance and make it difficult to remove from the patient's trachea.
