Customer complaints identified that samples containing extremely high IgG4 levels exhibit antigen excess and will yield spuriously low IgG4 results.

iOS and Android: Under certain conditions the affected app versions may disregard historical bolus data potentially leading to an incorrect bolus insulin recommendation being provided to the user. iOS only: Pairing and using multiple meters with the Accu-Chek Connect app can under rare circumstances cause the bolus advisor to fail to offer a correction bolus recommendation within the eligible time window following a blood glucose measurement (10  15 minutes). Depending on the individual metabolic situation potentially incorrect bolus advice could lead to serious health consequences such as hypoglycemia. Both software issues may also cause the amount of active insulin displayed during the bolus calculation process to be incorrect and should not be used to manually calculate a bolus.

Medline Industries, Inc is recalling Unna Z Unna Boot Bandage 3X10 and Unna Z Unna Boot Bandage 4X10 due to contamination of the products with common mold (Cladosporium sphaerospermum/cladosporioides/herbarum/phaenocomae/halotolerans and Penicillium corylophilum)..

under specific settings, an issue may occur during simultaneous Sensor Cartridge and Fluid Pack change on the cobas b 123 <2> POC system and cobas b 123 <4> POC system. The issue occurs when the software function [AutoQC as follow-up] is configured to run all three levels of AutoQC only after a Fluid Pack change, but not after a Sensor Cartridge change. When both are changed simultaneously, starting with the Sensor Cartridge and followed by the Fluid Pack, the analyzer carries out only the follow-up actions associated with the Sensor Cartridge change after completing the change workflow. As a result, no follow-up AutoQC is performed and the three expected AutoQC measurements for the Fluid Pack change are not carried out. Without running quality control, there is a remote possibility that system issues would not be detected and wrong results would not be excluded on all parameters: pH, PO2, PCO2, Na+, K+, Ca++, Cl-, Glu, Lac, Hct, SO2, O2Hb, COHb, MetHb, HHb, and Bili.

Baxter Healthcare Corporation is issuing a voluntary product recall for several lots of Phoenix Dialysis Machine Preventive Maintenance Kits due to incorrect silicone straight connectors components packaged in these kits. During Preventive Maintenance, the two silicone connectors must be installed in the Phoenix mass-balance section of hydraulic circuit only if the Phoenix machine has already been modified with "CONN. IMPROVING RETR. KIT" (Code SP00721). Installation of these connectors in machines modified with SP00721 may result in fluid leaks during dialysis treatment. These Preventive Maintenance Kits include the FILTER sub-group, which contains the silicone straight connectors that are larger than expected.

The analysis showed that the incident was caused by a chain of four faults: 1.) The injured person overcame a physical barrier (the tabletop support arm. height ca. 60 em) to access a prohibited area not intended as a working position. 2) The directions for use (device labeling and instructions for use) did not contain an explicit exclusion of the prohibited area. 3.) The movement was activated inadvertently and continuously. and it was not released (the movement requires continuous activation). 4.) Delayed activation of the emergency stop.

Four issues were uncovered by the recalling firm's CAPA: 1) Burrs were found to be present on Left Housing, Right Housing and Barrel components, 2) Loose plastic particulate was found within sealed primary packages, 3) Loose hair was discovered within four sealed primary packages and 4) Assembly error, wherein Left and Right Housing components were acceptably press-fit together, was discovered within one sealed primary package. One of the Left Housing press-fit pins was not pressed into the associated hole of the Right Housing, resulting in a small gap in the housing assembly.

light precipitate may form in prepared plates of Acumedia Tryptic Soy Agar (7100) Lot# 108166. While there is no change in growth performance of this medium, the formation of particulate matter may be misinterpreted as growth in poured plates thereby leading to inaccurate counts.
