Based on internal testing, results indicated a possible failure of the stitches securing the buckle to the nylon belt could occur, posing a potential risk when used on a human patient to stop arterial blood flow. There is a remote chance that a serious injury and/or death could occur as a result of the failure of the device.
IBA is initiating this recall to notify its customers that the use of non-IBA accessories and/or third party equipment or unauthorized modifications to an IBA medical device may pose a safety risk.

There is a potential for the patient port retaining ring to not fully seat allowing the patient port to detach during use. This may impact air delivery to the patient.
The patient support head holder could contact the back ISO shelter wall during manual or motorized motion through the gantry bore. This may result in a serious injury that would require medical intervention to preclude permanent impairment in certain scenarios.
The affected lots may exhibit inaccuracy for Quality Control and patient samples at the low end of the Analytical Measurement Range. The bias is due to the calibration curve not showing separation between the Level 1 and Level 2 calibrators.

The affected lots may exhibit inaccuracy for Quality Control and patient samples at the low end of the Analytical Measurement Range. The bias is due to the calibration curve not showing separation between the Level 1 and Level 2 calibrators. The negative bias observed for patient, QC, and calibrator samples, when using any of the listed lots, has the potential to impact the interpretation of gentamicin results during therapeutic monitoring at concentrations up to approximately 2.5 ¿g/mL [5.4 ¿mol/L].
