These roller pumps were assembled with pump shafts that may fail at the location of the thread where a locknut is installed. The failure is associated with a noise that is atypical of roller pump operation. The noise is caused when an unsecured shaft end contacts the rotating pulley of the roller pump. Prolonged use of a roller pump in this condition could lead to an eventual pump stop, resulting in the inability to create pump flow due to pulley loosening and drive belt damage.

Inner draw rod, which threads into the cage may potentially be separated from the proximal knob of the inserter

There is the potential for various failures with the LOR (loss of resistance) syringes included in the kits resulting in dural puncture with some also requiring a blood patch.

Labeling error. The product is labeled with an 18 month expiration date, however the product is approved for 12 months.

Incorrect labeling; it was identified that some Datapad devices contained incorrect labels. Specifically the manufacturing date in the production identifier was incorrect and the manufacturing date on the unique device identifier label was labeled in the format of yy-mm-dd instead of yyyy-mm-dd.

The navigated values displayed when using the LPI instrumentation are incorrect due to software inconsistencies (wrong data loaded).

There have been reported incidents of a loose reservoir that can no longer be locked into the pump. The reservoir can become loose due to a broken or missing retainer ring that prevents a proper lock. If the reservoir is not properly locked into the pump, it could lead to over or under delivery of insulin, which could then result in hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia.

Firm identified a subset of its generators that were sterilized one additional sterilization cycle, which does not meet the firm's quality specifications.

Ventilator touchscreen may become frozen and fail to respond to touch commands. If a patient requires a change in therapy, there is no warning associated with an unresponsive touchcreen, and therefore the clinician would have no prior indication of a touchscreen failure and would be unable to change ventilator settings. The ventilator will continue to function at the predetermined and accepted settings required to support the patient. A delay in therapy adjustments may result in hypercarbia and/or hypoxemia.
