Lack of Assurance of Sterility
Potential of blood leak occurring between the lower port of the venous chamber and the tubing include: hemodiafiltration (HDF), hemodialysis (HD), hemofiltration (HF), and isolated ultrafiltration.
Potential for internal blood leaks due to cracked polyurethane
Machines equipped with BPM3 Blood Pressure Modules (Blood pressure monitor TM-2917B with firmware version S005) will not record Blood Pressure measurements and does not alarm if the cuff tubing is kinked close to the cuff.
This product is being recalled due to the tube weld failure presents itself as a slow leak and can be difficult to detect.

Lack of assurance of sterility: The product was potentially exposed to below-recommended storage temperatures, which may cause leaks in the packaging.
(1)Software version 2.74 upgrade and (2)hardware related cause that affects only CDX Machines, has been identified as the UI-MICs Board is sensitive to Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) which will cause the false alarm "Remove USB 2 Device".
Lack of Assurance of Sterility: Leakage of 0.9% Sodium Chloride for Injection, 1L, 12pk Saline Solution.
The "Nominal Chemical Composition" section of the label incorrectly lists 5.62g/L KCL (potassium chloride). 5.62g/L actually corresponds to the CaCl (calcium chloride) content. The product remains potassium free.

Internal ethernet cable may be misaligned, the cable jacket (insulation) could become compromised due to high temperature and result in the internal ethernet cable conducting electrical current to the ethernet port on the outside of the device), potentially harming service technicians and/or other authorized operators. If the ethernet port on the device is touched or manipulated, there is a risk of electrical shock

The product was potentially exposed to below-recommended storage temperatures, which may cause leaks in the packaging. Leaks can lead to biological contamination and therefore an increased risk of potential bloodstream infection.
Dialyzers were distributed after being exposed to cold temperatures which exceeded the low-temperature range in the firm's standard operating procedure.
Error messages 206 (yellow) and 208 (red) technical failure, flow measurement during use of the Novalung System imply that the communication between flow sensor and sensor box is interrupted. An interrupted communication between flow sensor and sensor box might lead to a disabled flow measurement and air bubble detection.
