Cell Marque has determined the need to issue a product recall after identifying product intended to be sold outside the U.S. was not properly labeled as "For Export Only" as required by section 801 (e )(1) of the FD&C Act.

An extremely dusty computer can cause problems at system start, or rarely, cause system fail. Perform a system check prior to performing exams. If the Sensis system fails, its functions can not be used. Clinical treatment may need to be terminated, restarted, or transferred to a functioning system.

Potential performance issue on strain categorization.

LeadCare Plus and LeadCare Ultra Blood Lead Testing Systems may generate falsely low lead concentrations in some blood samples. The issue is observed when blood samples are collected in tubes with lavender and tan rubber stoppers of the Becton Dickinson EDTA Vacutainer tubes, a collection device used with the testing system.

Following biases observed in the results of the French National Quality Controls, Beckman Coulter has been informed that a study completed by the French Competent Authority Agence nationale de s¿curit¿ du Medicament et des produits de sant¿ (ANSM) showed diagnosed cancer patients in non-remission of their metastatic disease, may have results below the upper reference limit (URL) of 31.3 U/mL as stated in the Access BR Monitor instructions for use (IFU).

During Ziehm Imaging GmbH FDA inspection, the label for the Collimator and X-ray Control panel was missing the manufacturer date as part of the identification for certified component

Current lots of ADVIA Centaur/XP/XPT/CP Insulin (IRI) assay recover approximately 40% higher than the World Health Organization (WHO) 1st IRP 66/304 standardization based on slope values. Other performance characteristics are being met per the assay Instructions for Use. Overall risk to health is negligible and Siemens is not recommending a review of previously generated results.

The strength of the arm mounting mechanism was insufficient and had to be redesigned.

Potential Patient Demographic Error with Blank Patient ID Field

Indications for use are not cleared or approved for market in the U.S.

Due to a design change in 2015, corrosion on the sample probe electrical contacts can occur and lead to a disturbance of the sample liquid level detection (LLD). When disturbance of the sample liquid level detection (LLD) occurs, the affected sample probe may dip into the sample material deeper than intended. This may lead to carryover and medical risk cannot be excluded.

Based on internal investigation and testing that revealed the distal end of certain lots of Terumo Medical Destination¿ products may not contain the labeled 5 cm of coating. While there have been no complaints or patient related incidents reported, the lack of coating could render it difficult to navigate the device to the target vasculature.

Beckman Coulter has confirmed that the Export feature located in the Results area of the AQUIOS System software is not correctly exporting Tetra Combo CRD files.

Confirmed complaint of surface contamination of Listeria monocytogenes.

When scanning with the 18L6 HD transducer on the ACUSON HELX" Evolution with Touch Control, the ultrasound system may display a triple image or an image with a dark band. For the triple image issue, the system repeats one-third of the aperture, but does not display the full field of view.

Potential for biased results generated using the specific lots of VITROS VANC Reagent. This can occur after the reagent packs are loaded onto the analyzer and stored within the on-analyzer stability date.
