Under rare conditions, SIGNA Premier gradient coils could result in elevated acoustic noise during scanning. After prolonged periods of elevated acoustic noise, this could potentially lead to hearing loss.
When scanning sponges out after a surgical procedure, an error may allow for a duplicate sponge to be counted without the prompt to make a case note and allowing the case to close. The software update will prevent the occurrence of this error.
Manufactured with a Galvanized High Carbon Steel spring instead of the correct 302 Stainless steel spring. has the potential to oxidize and corrode in the ATTUNE Measured Sizing & Rotation Guide, resulting in surgical delay, debris in surgical field, Osteolysis, Poor Joint Mechanics, Soft Tissue Irritation, Pain
May have the potential for leakage at the housing component of the stopcock, may result in delay or interruption in treatment, exposure to infusate and biohazardous material, under dosing/under infusion, contamination and/or air ingress.
A customer reported a problem with the reagent and calibrator. Randox Laboratories carried out an investigation and confirmed the issue. The complaint is pertaining to atypical calibration curves that can results in non-numerical results. This affects Siemens Atellica CH analysers only. Customer have reported an atypical calibration curve that results in the values around the low QC range to produce a non-numerical result. It appears to be related to the bottle values of the calibrator producing a curve shape that is too linear for the logitlog calculation to calculate. This issue can only be identified in the Atellica graphical view of the calibration. In most of the cases when this has occurred, it is picked up by the QC generating a Math Error, however, there are reports of QC shifts after calibration without the Math Error flagged that may be related to this issue. Results reported with STFR Level 1, with a concentration less than 1.7mg/L, using TF10159 and TF10161 can be underestimated by up to 30%. This issue has been reported with reagent lots 575475 and 562691, calibrator lots 537725 and 562696. No other complaints received.
Sensis/Sensis Vibe SoftwareVD12A, the ComboBox may encounter a disconnect of its communication during the first patient examination of the day or after a longer period of inactivity to the Sensis Vibe system resulting in no vital signs being available.
Firm has revised labeling to consistently call out storage conditions and revised the instructions for use to clarify that the temperature range symbol is intended to indicate storage conditions (versus transport conditions or tolerance conditions for the package material).
May have the potential for leakage at the housing component of the stopcock, may result in delay or interruption in treatment, exposure to infusate and biohazardous material, under dosing/under infusion, contamination and/or air ingress.
The product was mispackaged (swapped). The devices within the inner tray matches the inner tray but does not match the outer box label and the chart sticks.

There was translation error in the Spanish version of the IFU where the Spanish version instructs the user to leave the blastocyte to air thaw for 5 minutes rather than the correct 5 seconds as indicated in the English version.
The failure mode on the affected mattresses can cause a reduction in the performance of the Microclimate Management feature used to pull heat and moisture away from the patient resulting in an increased patient risk of pressure ulcer development.

Firm has received complaints on the device concerning leak/rupture of either the bronchial or tracheal cuff. Leakage during procedure could lead to loss of secure airway and will require re-intubation of patient.
