Other Medical Devices

A software defect affecting VITROS Systems running VITROS Software Versions 3.8.1 causes QC baseline statistics to not update as expected when changed by the user. This may cause erroneous patient results to be reported.

Potential packaging breaches of inner blister and outer sterile blister.

The sterile blister packaging may be damaged, and sterility may be compromised.

Potential packaging breaches of inner blister and outer sterile blister.

Medical devices distributed, prior to sterilization

The surgical techniques for the Embrace Shoulder Instruments -Drill Tower (Article REF 645-081/62 & /63) have mixed-up type descriptions ("standard" vs "wedged") in the overview of the instruments.

Products not sterilized, sterility cannot be confirmed

For some MRI systems, it has been found that some of the maximum Spatial Field Gradient (SFG) values displayed in "System Information" of the operation window and some of the maximum SFG values described in the safety manual are lower than the correct values, which may cause a patient with an MR conditional device to feel some discomfort during the MR scan.

Potential packaging breaches of inner blister and outer sterile blister.

A software defect affecting VITROS Systems running VITROS Software Versions 3.8.0 and 3.8.1 causes the Configurable Westgard Rules to not report as expected. When a new control is defined, configurable Westgard rules, if selected, are not flagged or reported with the applicable QC results if the statistical criteria is met. This may result in acceptance of QC results that do not meet acceptance criteria, which may cause erroneous patient results to be reported.

Medline Industries, LP is recalling certain kits and trays that were manufactured using specific lots of Nurse Assist (as components): 0.9% Sodium Chloride Irrigation USP, Sterile Water for Irrigation USP and Saline Flush Syringe. Nurse Assist issued a recall due to the potential lack of sterility, which could result in the solution being non sterile.

Risk of hypoventilation caused by duckbill and ring broken/disassembled, due to faulty mold/tooling producing out of specification components. Device failure may cause improper ventilation or no ventilation that may result in hypoventilation or hypoxia, and potentially lead to death. The mold/tooling used to produce the affected component was replaced in 2017.
