Fiberscopes do not have adequate data to support that the suction flow rate meets the device specification.

IFU update

Plastic vials contain a manufacturing defect may cause an increased risk of leakage and presents a risk of incidental exposure to biological hazards associated with direct contact with the patient specimen.

There is to an increase in complaints related to failure alarms for Wet Cassette Integrity Test occurring on the Amia devices.

Due to incorrect product labeling

Undeclared latex

During planned monitoring of data post-release of Software Version 3.8.0 an increased occurrence of software issues relating to unresponsive subsystems, unresponsive user interface (sometimes referred to as a screen freeze), and/or printer disconnections was identified. The consequence of these issues would be a delay in reporting results due to the required system shutdowns to recover the system. This delay in reporting results could occur during any assay, including which the speed of the result is deemed critical or STAT and could result in a delay of treatment in a patient. Due to the release strategy of this software version, the user could not update the system but a field engineer had to manually install each affected system.

Certain factory settings for the device were incorrectly described in the IFU-related to the warning limits for PVen and PAux, and the default settings for the venous bubble sensor (VBS) and the automatic lock in the Minimized Extracorporeal Circulation (MECC) ThApp

The product description on the labeling includes the word "Sterile" or STRL", however the contents of the solution inside the foil sachet is non-sterile.

Mathematical modeling of the 4Kscore with and without DRE information was recently performed on over 3,000 specimens. DRE information is a required component of The 4Kscore Test.

The product description on the labeling includes the word "Sterile" or STRL", however the contents of the solution inside the foil sachet is non-sterile.

GE HealthCare has become aware of the potential that incorrect torque has been applied to certain bolts of the Definium Tempo and Definium Tempo Pro products which may result in a potential fall of elements of the Overhead Tube Suspension (OTS) assembly.

The previous software application version (1.1.300) is missing a decimal separator (a comma) for parameter range guidance values displayed on some of the programming screens: Catheter, Reservoir, Infusion, Bolus, myPTM, and Alarm.

Due to software malfunction, numerical values may be rounded resulting in inaccurate measurements.

Firm is expanding the existing recall RES 90457 for the Cerelink, initiated in June 2022, to include all CereLink ICP Extension Cables. The updated corrective action includes a design change to the extension cable to address the "out of range readings" issue.

BD (C.R. Bard) has received user complaints reporting that when the device was connected to WiFi/Internet, the time displayed on the Sensica device changed during a patient monitoring session which resulted in 1) incorrect time displayed on the monitoring screen, 2) incorrect hour block timestamps on the monitoring screen, 3) incorrect hour timestamps on data screens, and 4) incorrect catheter use time.

Potential hardware issue for ARTIS icono ceiling system: collision sensor may falsely signal non-existing collisions for up to half an hour when the system is switched off for a longer time (e.g., overnight) and switched on. During this time, system movement is only possible with the "override" function with very slow speed and without further collision protection. This may lead to temporary unavailability of the system for diagnostic and therapeutic usage.
