All Recalls

GE HealthCare has become aware of an issue with certain IC9-RS ultrasound probes (see Affected Products List) that can result in a double image artifact creating a ghost image with realistic features. An unrecognized artifact may lead to misdiagnosis.

Medline Industries, LP is issuing a recall for specific item(s) and lot(s) of Various Adult Blood and Blood Culture Kits. This recall is due to kits built using a Bactec component lot and expiration date that were not reflected on the kit insert. There is a risk of using an expired component if the user does not check the Bactec inside the kit for its expiration date.

Product manufactured using UHMWPE raw material over 5 years of age has the potential for elevated levels of oxidation. Oxidation within UHMWPE can have an impact on its material properties.

Product balloon issues: inflating, deflating and/or retrieving the devices; reports of bursting and leaking and events involving foreign body in patient and prolonged procedure.

During an internal investigation, ACS identified that several components were "piggybacked" to ACS trays and subjected to the ACS sterilization process. There is no supporting documentation stating the "piggybacked" components were assessed to determine if they were suitable for exposure to elevated temperatures for an extended period of time and further exposure to sterilization. As a result, the piggybacked components may (1) have a loss/lack of functionality, (2) loss of drug efficacy, if applicable, and (3) may have had higher than specified EO residuals.

Spinal fixation screws labeled as 8.5 mm diameter, 50 mm length were manufactured using an incorrect screw shank component, and so the labeling is incorrect because the affected screws are in fact 5.5 diameter, 45 mm length screws, which if used may lead to the screw not engaging.
