Fetal/maternal monitor/monitoring systems serviced or remanufactured using non-OEM equivalent components that have not been appropriately verified or validated. Possible adverse clinical impact: inability to accurately detect and measure fetal heart rate, inability to accurately detect maternal peripheral oxygen saturation, inability to monitor uterine activity to follow contractions, inability to determine temperature, and maternal blood pressure, lack of electrocardiography tracing, patient/clinician burns, and delay in detecting maternal or fetal distress.

SwishPlus Implant 5.7mmD x 8mmL, SBM 6.5mmD Platform, Part Number 925708
Implant Direct Sybron Manufacturing
Due to a complaint received and internal investigation it was determined that implant vials were distributed with incorrect color coded vials and caps. The part/lot numbers were correct, the customer received the product they ordered, however the color on the vial label and cap labels were incorrect.Specifically, the color coded vial and cap does not match the implant size described on the vial. As a result of the incorrect color on the vial and cap, the surgeon may not be certain if the implant received was the correct size. This could result in a delay in surgery, risk of infection if the surgical site has to be closed up and a second round of anesthesia.
Two batches of VIDAS Varicella-Zoster IgG (VZG ref 30217) may yield an invalid calibration which may delay the patient's sample result or a valid calibration may lead to a false positive patient result.

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.

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.
