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.
There is the potential for various failures with the LOR (loss of resistance) syringes included in the kits resulting in dural puncture with some also requiring a blood patch.

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.
A pump alarm function anomaly in the pump firmware code may result in the pump not sending the expected error code notifications to the Programmer, or not emit an audible alarm tone in certain "out of tolerance" conditions associated with the pump's valve system.
It was reported that the user's low alarm feature on the iOS application were not properly alerting users when the user has enabled the Alert Schedule feature more than 30 days after installing the iOS application.

There is the potential for water to flood the column and enter the circuit under circumstances where an abnormal pressure differential is created between the water bottle and the column during high flow oxygen therapy.

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.
