Homocysteine Assay May Cause Elevated Results in the Folate Assay
There is a potential for an uneven plastic encapsulation of the magnet ring during the molding process and partial axial displacement. This issue could cause uneven wear during use, cause exposure of the magnet to solution, and thereby result in corrosion and the presence of iron.

The firm became aware that three (3) lots of the NAV Suction Instruments contain calibration issues causing incorrect tip orientation display in the system.
GE Healthcare has become aware that there is a potential for a loose cable connection inside specific manufactured anesthesia devices. This would cause a loss of mechanical ventilation and the system will provide high priority audio and visual alarms. Loss of mechanical ventilation could lead to hypoxia if the clinician does not intervene.

Henry Schein CardioChek Starter Kit, Reference Number 4060 HS, 570-1036
Polymer Technology Systems
One brand of batteries have a small dimensional difference in the negative button terminal, which, when the batteries are inserted incorrectly, can create the possibility for the battery terminals to make reverse contact. This reverse contact can cause a potential for overheating.

The firm has become aware that the sensor cover, a component of the single-use navigation kit may contain microbial contamination. A source of microbial contamination has been identified in a raw product used to manufacture the tip of the cover.This could result in direct exposure of the intra-cardiovascular, intra-lymphatic or neurological system to a level of endotoxin sufficient to produce a pyrogenic response.
