Affected product may not perform as expected; the amalgam powder may not triturate correctly and the physical properties (i.e. strength, compression, working time, etc.) will be adversely affected.

There are potential performance issues found in the DxI 9000 Access Immunoassay Analyzer, including: 1) Access Ultrasensitive Insulin users who configure SI units (pmol/L) applies an incorrect conversion factor; 2) System provides numerical results that are below the lowest reportable result if laboratory chooses to report assay results in units of measurement other than the defined default units; 3) A result of 0 incorrectly reported when the system utilizes an expression that utilizes non-numerical symbols (e.g., > or <) to derive a calculated test as part of result reporting; 4) Reserve volume is enabled and the assay LIS code is not the same as the assay Test ID. These issues could potentially lead to erroneous results or delay reporting results for multiple analytes.

Dual-articulating head rest may not stay in place or may fail to lock into position during a patient procedure which could result in an injury to the patient or a procedural delay.

The device has a grip detail (right angle latch) out of specification causing the bur to not adequately latch in the handpiece.

Some sensors may have a glucose oxidase (GOX) layer thickness outside of specification (5.5 to 9.2 ¿m). A non-conforming GOX layer thickness could impact sensor function (sensor glucose value) or loss of sensor function due to the sensor layer being too thin. The potential impact resulting from this issue ranges from user inconvenience to over/under delivery of insulin, possibly resulting in hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia, if the sensor glucose values are affected. The issue was identified by the manufacturing team during the execution of Filmetrics Measurement for a Guardian Sensor lot.

The lower layer component of a sperm separation Kit does not match the certificate of analysis. The kit should contain lower layer (Lot: 0000020686, Shelf Life: 31 December 2024) but incorrectly may contain lower layer (Lot number 9925811106, Shelf Life: 30 November 2023).

Dual-articulating head rest may not stay in place or may fail to lock into position during a patient procedure which could result in an injury to the patient or a procedural delay.

A software issue that can incorrectly label all captured images that may lead to misdiagnosis and subsequent incorrect treatment.

Potential cybersecurity vulnerability that could lead to a Denial of Service (DoS) attack, tampering, or remote code execution via remote login to the Flow Anesthesia System, any of which could lead to a hazardous situation.

Magnetic materials were used for the wheels of trolley. Wheels with magnetic material might be attracted to MRI systems if the wheels are in the magnetic field.

Specific lots of sutures were sterilized with gamma doses that exceeded the range approved. The extra gamma levels may decrease the strength of the sutures over time, which could result in harms such as wound dehiscence and hemorrhage/blood loss/ bleeding at a critical level.

Product balloon issues: inflating, deflating and/or retrieving the devices; reports of bursting and leaking and events involving foreign body in patient and prolonged procedure.

The Quadrature Body Coil (QBC) seal adhesive may fail, creating sharp edges that may come in contact with patients. If the QBC seal becomes loose during the scanning process, the risk to the patient may include skin abrasions, bruises, lacerations, hair loss/entanglement, and tissue injury.

Product balloon issues: inflating, deflating and/or retrieving the devices; reports of bursting and leaking and events involving foreign body in patient and prolonged procedure.

Medline Industries, LP is issuing a recall for specific item(s) and lot(s) of Various Adult Blood and Blood Culture Kits. This recall is due to kits built using a Bactec component lot and expiration date that were not reflected on the kit insert. There is a risk of using an expired component if the user does not check the Bactec inside the kit for its expiration date.

System may exhibit a loss of imaging functionality and data due to an issue which can cause the system to continuously restart. If the issue occurs during a procedure, there may be a delay and/or abortion of the procedure.

AtriCure has identified certain lots of tank hose assemblies where a second-tier supplier provided incorrect tank hose assemblies. These tank hose assemblies were provided with an outer sheathing that does not have required pin perforations and the inner tube of the hose is not the correct material.

Product balloon issues: inflating, deflating and/or retrieving the devices; reports of bursting and leaking and events involving foreign body in patient and prolonged procedure.

During an internal investigation, ACS identified that several components were "piggybacked" to ACS trays and subjected to the ACS sterilization process. There is no supporting documentation stating the "piggybacked" components were assessed to determine if they were suitable for exposure to elevated temperatures for an extended period of time and further exposure to sterilization. As a result, the piggybacked components may (1) have a loss/lack of functionality, (2) loss of drug efficacy, if applicable, and (3) may have had higher than specified EO residuals.
