There is a potential for the heating-chamber to malfunction resulting in melting/burning of the heater chamber components.

Their is the potential that software issues may result in flipped image of the virtual Bronchoscope view.

Two patient circuits, 29028-003 and 29028-004, for the 3100 High Frequency Oscillatory ventilator that are only approved for use outside the U.S. were distributed in the U.S.

Incorrect bonding material used for assembly of the catheter, may fail, resulting in detachment of component parts, broken components, or leakage. This breakage may result in delay of procedure

Elekta has identified that if the microswitch within the middle arm is incorrectly setup, there is a potential for an uncontrolled extension of iViewGT / XVI detector arms. When the detector arm is fully deployed there is no risk of uncontrolled extension.

Nonconforming devices while manufactured correctly, do not comply to their design requirements. Potential harms associated with balloon detachment are endoscopic retrieval of an impacted or non-impacted object, bleeding caused by the retrieval device, or the incident can occur without injury and the object is left to pass naturally.

Updates to the HVAD system instructions for use (IFU) and patient manual (PM) will be provided. These updates will clarify (1) the conditions under which an HVAD [Controller Fault] alarm may sound and the recommended troubleshooting actions and (2) instructions relating to the useful life of the HVAD system components

Product was re-processed and re-sterilized by a third party using packaging configurations and a sterilization process which are not approved by the manufacture and lack validation.

In affected products, the tubing outer diameter may vary in size or the length of tubing may be too short. Both issues may lead to false air-in-line alarms, which will stop the infusion and interrupt therapy. Interruptions or delays in medication administration may result in serious injury to patients which may be life-threatening (e.g. interruption of a vasopressor to a hemodynamically unstable patient) or may lead to death.

Deterioration in the stability of the Test Strips results in diminished low-range detection capability and inability to meet linearity performance claims. The root cause of the stability deterioration in is identified as the change in material that caused a pH shift in the coating solution resulting in precipitation during coating runs. The device defect can cause false negative results that may lead to a delay in treatment of patients with associated conditions such as diabetic ketoacidosis.

The instruction manuals that were included with the Multi-Mode Stimulators distributed from 2018 to 2023 did not contain all of the appropriate warnings and contraindications.

A sterilization nonconformance prematurely aged the product, resulting in an inaccurate labeled expiration date.

Routine quality control testing of affected blood culture identification panel with affected control panel may need to be amended, due to control panel/instrument characteristic changes, that lead C. tropicalis to be amplified in some portion of test runs, but then it's reported as "Not Detected" because the assay amplicon Tm is outside the acceptable limit assigned for calling positive results.

Pump not detected as connected to controller due to software issue.

Patient beds are missing test values for electrical safety tests presenting risk of tissue burn or electrical shock.
