There is a rare communication sequence during the first device interrogation with a SmartSync Device Manager that may result in the temporary suspension of some device features (i.e., battery measurements, Capture Management", Atrial Lead Position Check", EffectivCRT" algorithms, and AdaptivCRT"). This rare interaction results in temporary suspension of automatic threshold testing and output adjustments, and suspension of auto-optimization of CRT therapy. The issue is unlikely to result in clinical impact to the patient, and features are restored upon next programmer device interrogation or presence of a magnet.
Two issues were identified with the stationary x-ray system. 1. Some position illustrations in the patient exam interface show the incorrect anatomical position for the standard of care. When the image is acquired with the wrong reference position, clinical diagnostic requirements cannot be met.T2. Where image stitching is used, the left and right tag information may be lost. When these problems are encountered, an additional exposure is needed and the patient will receive more radiation.
Tungsten carbide plate, which is intended to hold the sewing needle securely, can break when holding the sewing needle under pressure and result in in patient tissue injury
Feeding tube plastic tethered closure cap may possibly fracture or break. Possible health hazards: (1) Enteral feeding and medication administration could be possibly delayed, until replacement tube is placed into patient (2) Patient could be unnecessarily overexposed to radiation if multiple x-rays are needed to confirm placement of a new tube, if x-ray is used as the placement confirmation method.

A healthcare provider (HCP) noticed a patient had a lowered historic SpO2 reading that the software should have triggered a notification to the care team, but no notification was found. A software defect was encountered causing the lack of notification. The defect could result in exposing a patient to potential hypoxia for a short window of time. The firm is correcting the software to bring the performance back into compliance with specifications.
Smiths Medical became aware that one (1) lot of PORT-A-CATH¿ II POWER P.A.C. Low Profile" System (SKU 21-4477-24) was packaged with an 8Fr catheter instead of a 6Fr catheter.
ShieldLoc implant component of the ACL Reconstruction Systemlots may be labeled with the incorrect size. Product labeled as 10-1008-4070 was found to have 10-1008-4060 product in the package. Product labeled as 10-1008-4060 was found to have 10-1008-4070 product in the package.
Two issues were identified with the computed tomography x-ray system including an intermittent issue which may affect image data leading to artifacts; and intermittent scout scanning interruption due to occasional angle signal drift. This may result in the need for rescanning of the patient with the patient receiving an additional dose of radiation and possible use of additional contrast media.
A software issue was identified which could result in user or patient injury, or may adversely impact laser performance. It is possible that an unintended release of laser light (radiation) may occur, injuring the user or patient.
Teleflex is initiating a voluntary recall for the above-mentioned products due to reports indicating that the laser guard foil partially separated and/or slightly detached at the edges in the presence of moisture.
This field correction is being initiated to address potentially damaged seals in the packaging of some the Laborie Pump Tube Sets. Finished goods inventory was detected with damage to their seals in the form of breaches or folds. Based on our investigation the issue appears to be limited to a single lot of part number 902101226 pump tubing sets.
Kit contained an incorrect catheter-tip syringe not compatible with the luer lock connector of the included airway. As a result, may be unable to inflate the balloons of the supraglottic airway to create a secure seal in the patient s airway as intended by the kit
