Quality control results are not processed for Abbott Diagnostics Alinity ci series (abdicqii) instrument. This has been determined to be a driver malfunction. When an instrument transmits results from a quality control (QC) sample ID ("Q^Control" in SPM segment), and the option Hold Results Until Complete is enabled, the results do not parse into IM. The communication Trace shows the sample being transmitted, but no information is logged in the Specimen Event Log (SEL). There is a potential for harm if QC results are not processed, downstream auto verification rules may misfire based on missing QC results leading to a delay in, or incorrect treatment. QC results will not be available for evaluation by the lab. There have been no reported instances of patient harm from this malfunction.

The firm received complaints related to the locking mechanism on the steerable inserter not functioning as intended. The firm confirmed that the issue is related to lack of lubrication of the instrument. There are two potential hazards associated with the implant pivoting unexpectedly during implant insertion into the disc space. First, if the implant is initially inserted into the disc space via the impaction method and the implant pivots unexpectedly, the implant potentially may unintentionally contact sensitive anatomy. Additionally, the user may potentially experience difficulty positioning the implant within the disc space due to the lack of rigidity. A third potential hazard is associated with the inserter not unlocking at the articulating pivot head during implant positioning within the disc space. Once the implant is in the prepared disc space and contacts the ventral annulus, the surgeon unlocks the articulating pivot head and positions the implant perpendicular to the spinous process. The surgeon may then elect to lock/unlock the articulating pivot head for desired final positioning of the implant. If the inserter does not unlock during these final implant positioning steps, the user may potentially implant the cage in a suboptimal trajectory/placement.

Data loggers showed that one shipment to the United States experienced low temperatures that may impact performance of this product.

The pouches of certain lots of product may have wrinkles along the pouch seal that could result in a channel within the seal. Should there be a channel in the pouch seal it may result in a breach in the sterility of the product.
