Beckman Coulter has identified that Dipyrone (Metamizole) may cause erroneous, false low results in the following assays: Cholesterol OSR6X16, Triglyceride OSR6X118, Uric Acid OSR6X98, Lactate OSR6X93, and Lipase OSR6X30.

Software Defects resulting in: (1) sagittal result shortened for axial scans; (2) single series displayed on console viewer when Creating multi-planner reconstruction; (3) scan length changes with a change in field of view; (4) DoseRight algorithm miscalculations leading to incorrect CTDI values; (5) scan length changes during subsequent axial results, (6) surview scan lengths near 135mm or 184mm

Loss of therapy during recharging of device. Reportedly, a charging session was terminated prior to obtaining recharge threshold voltage of 3.615, which triggered rapid battery depletion state. As a result, the device depleted to 1.925 volts in one to two days rather than the typical 30 days. Insufficient coupling between recharger and device during recharge session was found to be key factor.

Failure to provide the required instructions specifying a procedure and schedule for calibration of the measurement system.

DePuy Synthes is initiating a voluntary medical device recall of unexpired and unopened part and lot numbers for the Norian Drillable Injects-Sterile due to the rotary pouch within the referenced lots and associated part numbers may potentially be labeled with the incorrect powder volume/size; however, the rotary pouch contains the correct powder volume/size according to the outer label.

Firm's investigation determined that the Proximal Occlusion Alarms observed in the field were attributed to the mechanism calibration process being performed with an out of specification metal cassette, resulting in an offset in proximal pressure.

Due to a software defect, the system may sporadically apply the default x ray exposure parameters for an adult ( patient type : Normal ) even though the patient type " Newborn" was selected and is displayed in the generator control area of the Eleva User Interface.

Individual bottles of product may produce weak beta-lactamase reactions. Use may result in delayed or false negative reporting.

Zimmer Inc. is initiating a recall of specific Persona" Trabecular Metal" Tibial Plate Instruments and Modular Brackets, due to incidents of radiolucent lines and loosening in implants.

BD 10 mL Syringe Luer-Lok Tip with BD PrecisionGlide Needle 21G x 1 (0.8 mm x 25 mm) and Henry Schein 10 mL Single Use Syringe Luer-Lock are being recalled due to possible adulteration and non-conforming manufacturing practices.

The labeling of some units indicates that it contains a size 7mm tracheal tube, but may contain a size 7.5mm tracheal tube.

Due to the buildup of grease within the hose and motor, the product may require multiple attempts to start. The grease may also migrate into the attachment end of the motor. There is a negligible possibility that the orange grease may leak from the attachment end of the motor and contaminate the surgical wound resulting in soft tissue inflammation.

Devices did not pass the biological safety evaluation for cytotoxicity following exposure to test conditions. The high growth inhibition levels observed during testing could be attributed to corrosion of the device at solder points. This could potentially be reproduced during use and reprocessing.

GEHC has become aware of a potential safety issue in the Revolution CT Patient Table that can result in unintended motion in cases involving large patients. The Revolution CT cradle can descend on its own after activation by the user. This can put the patient at risk for harm. The harm can involve the impinging or crushing of a hand if caught between the cradle and CT inner gantry bore. No injurie

The Surgical Table Cushion (HybriGel Pads) could potentially contain staples that's secure two underlying fabrics, which would be captured on certain scans on patients, such as x-ray.
