Edits to Particle field definition parameters may not be saved when the field definition window is saved.

If images are sent without an order in the system, they will be matched with the latest order on the current patient/modality matching potentially resulting in the matching of the report to the incorrect accession number (but still associated to the correct patient).

Reporting feature times out after inactivity for more than an hour sending the user back to the study list, which causes all reporting data being entered to be lost.

The dowel pin could potentially slip out of its press fit, resulting in the product potentially slumping to one side which could cause the patient to stumble.

The Main Printed Circuit Board Assembly (PCBA) of the affected Freedom Drivers may fail and cause the Freedom Driver to stop functioning without visual or audible alarms, resulting in the loss of life-sustaining function.

Shipping error. Cocaine metabolite Microplate distributed instead of Barbiturate Microplate due to incorrect selection of Microplate during manufacturing.

Siemens is investigating an issue which may cause an incorrect result to be reported. Siemens received two reports of multiple discordant records for the same Sample ID in the ADVIA 560 Hematology System database that occurred during the installation of the systems. The database should only contain one record of a Sample ID number for any given time and date. If there are multiple records for the same Sample ID, it is possible that multiple results may be manually or automatically sent to the Laboratory Information System (LIS), printed or displayed on the results report screen.

According to the firm, Carry over was observed when the amylase or pancreatic amylase test is run directly before or after the Magnesium assay. An update is required to the RX Imola analyser running order and an acid wash recommended when setting up the magnesium assay. A correction was made to the IFU for the Magnesium assay and all RX Imola customers in the USA were contacted with the updated instruction.

There was a labeling error with product, UltraSeal XT Plus Clear Refill, Part Number (PN) 565, Lot Number (Lot) BD79T. The package was mislabeled as PQ1, PN 641; while the barcode, IFU and products were labeled for UltraSeal XT Plus Clear Refill, PN 565, Lot BD79T.

The firm failed to notify current customers of IFU update/warning. During a recent FDA inspection, it was discovered that Thayer Intellectual Property, Inc. had revised their IFU to include a warning not to bend, deform or otherwise modify any part of the device. The warning was added as a result of a MAUDE report filed in December 2014 where a piece of the MANOS EX broke during use and was left in the patient's hand. The patient suffered a tendon injury and an additional surgery was required to remove the broken piece of the device and repair the tendon. FDA inspection found that while the firm had updated their IFU, they had not notified customers who had been shipped the device with the older version that did not include the warning. Risk: It is important for MANOS EX users to be aware that bending, deforming, or modifying the device could result in device breakage which could impact patient safety and device performance.
