The LeMaitre Aortic Occlusion Catheter is a single lumen catheter with a latex balloon, it is offered in two balloon sizes: 28 mm or 45mm. The single lumen acts as the inflation lumen for the balloon and is indicated by the white stopcock. Other features include a balloon wall thickness designed to reduce the possibility of puncture by calcium deposits, and a stop-cock to maintain balloon inflation level throughout the procedure.

HS Hi-R NEO 900A NIR Reference # 657 822 Serial # from 101 Product Usage: A wide range of surgical interventions are made possible through the modular construction and the diversity of the equipment and accessories. The operating microscope HS Hi-R NEO 900/HS Hi-R NEO 900A/HS Hi-R NEO 900A NIR and HS ALLEGRA 900/590/90 are designed for use in Ophthalmology and in other disciplines where a vertical line of viewing is required. Due to their high maneuverability, the HS ALLEGRA range of operating microscopes are qualified for further applications, in particular ENT- and reconstructive microsurgery are possible, because their line of sight can be tilted or adjusted horizontally. The HS ALLEGRA 590 is particular because of its multidisciplinary application possibilities.

The Tina-Quant Myoglobin Gen. 2 Tests system is an immuno-turbidimetric assay for the quantitative in vitro determination of myoglobin in human serum and plasma on Roche automated clinical chemistry analyzers

Roche Diagnostics Operations

Class I - Dangerous

The firm conducted internal investigations that confirmed customer complaints of quality control (QC) imprecision and calibration failures for the Tina-quant Myoglobin Gen.2 assay (catalog number 04580010190), lot number 349860 on the cobas c311 analyzer and cobas c501 and c502 modules due to a drop in signal in the reaction kinetics. This signal drop was traced to an adjacent cell mixing effect. Sample recovery is decreased as a consequence of the disturbance in reaction kinetics. The investigation found discrepancies of up to -30%. Calibration, QC, and patient samples can be affected. The following issues were reported: - Calibration failures; Dup.E error due to signal drop in reaction kinetics - Sporadic quality control (QC) imprecision. As a long-term solution, the firm will implement required extra wash cycles (EWCs) into the respective Special Wash Requirements method sheets for the cobas c 311 analyzer and cobas c 501 and 502 modules, and into the cobas e-file for the cobas c 502 module. For the use of the reagent with the cobas c501 and c502, Roche will also direct users to run the Tina-Quant Myoglobin gen. 2 assay independently from other tests, in a batch mode status, with a maximum of 39 samples per run. Additionally, a change in the application settings of the Tina-quant Myoglobin Gen.2 assay on the cobas c 501 and 502 modules will be implemented so that adjacent cuvettes are no longer used in order to prevent adjacent cell mixing effects. The application settings change will be communicated at a later date.

Alere Cholestech LDX Analyzer, model # 14-874 containing power supplies with the identifying codes of 1837d and 1843d - Product Usage: The Alere Cholestech LDX System is a small, portable analyzer and test cassette system. The System is for in vitro diagnostic use only. The Lipid Profile GLU Cassette is for the quantitative determination of total cholesterol, HDL (high-density lipoprotein) cholesterol, triglycerides and glucose in whole blood. A TC/HDL (total cholesterol/HDL cholesterol) ratio and estimated values for LDL (low-density lipoprotein) and non-HDL cholesterol are calculated by the Alere Cholestech LDX¿ Analyzer.

The polarity of the output of power supply was reversed. Due to polarity of the output of power supplies being reversed, it renders the power supplies nonfunctional and the analyzer inoperable.
