There is a potential for separation of the ANGIOGUARD RX / XP delivery system and capture sheath which include but are not limited to situations of an intra-procedural delay, unplanned percutaneous or surgical intervention, or stroke; while a replacement device is prepared.

Automated dispensing cabinet software is experiencing: 1) ES device download failure resulting in partial patient information loss that leads to 2) partial loss of patient transaction data, seen as a server upload processing error. Outdated/incorrect information display may contribute to the removal of medication to which the patient is allergic, incorrect dose amount, or discontinued medication.

Product allows for the emission of ultraviolet (UV) electronic product radiation in excess of exposure limits recommended by the International Commission on Non-ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). The emissions are hazardous to users and others in the vicinity.

Incorrect labeling; Package labeling contains a different serial number then the serial number on the product labeling.

Potential table stop due to a broken tabletop cable: On the ProxiDiagnost N90 table there is a cable located under the tabletop that is covered by a plastic sleeve which can crack and damage the cable. If the tabletop cable breaks, the user may not be able to initiate table tilting movements or braking

Fiber optic cables assembled with not enough epoxy on the proximal end, creating light output issues, which could cause a clinical delay or procedure being converted to open.

Firmware versions have the potential to mis-associate sample IDs leading to incorrect results or delayed sodium, potassium, and chloride patient results. Falsely increased or decreased electrolytes can lead to either inappropriate treatment of normal results, or failure to treat abnormal results resulting in abnormal levels. Abnormal potassium levels can result in weakness, polyuria, ileus, psychiatric disturbances, cardiac arrhythmias, respiratory depression, and death. Abnormal sodium levels can result in CNS disturbances and disturbances of water balance. Abnormal chloride levels can lead to acid base disturbances which can lead to respiratory and cardiac compromise. The event may occur only if all the following conditions occurs in few milliseconds timeframe: - The module is releasing a sample tube (Tube A) just placed into the carrier - Another sample tube (Tube B) is erroneously not diverted into the module buffer lane due to a malfunction of the divert gate Only in this specific scenario, the Tube A may be released by the module as Tube B due to a miscommunication between the module firmware and the Automation software without any error message. The Automation System loses the traceability of Tube A. It manages both Tube A (incorrectly identified as Tube B) and the real Tube B according to the test orders not performed yet on Tube B. Inpeco has released a Technical Service Bulletin with the procedure to correctly update the firmware. The firmware upgrade will be performed by Field Service Engineers. A CAPA (Corrective Action Preventive Action) has been opened to deeply investigate the root cause and identify possible process lack in order to avoid reoccurrences.

There is a potential for mattress cover damage (delamination) which may result in fluid absorption in the mattress (fluid ingress).

Command modules will display the following when parameter processing is suspended, depending on software version: 1) Older versions will have waveforms present with no alarms, 2) Newer versions have waveforms absent with no alarms. This may cause clinicians to miss a potentially catastrophic event.

GE HealthCare has become aware of an issue where information from two different patients can be mismatched when correcting patient or study information.

Software error causes, safety ventilation, in which ventilation continues in the "safety ventilation" mode with audible/visible alarm - patient inputs are not monitored, if the following coincide 1) A mode change to an adaptive mode (ASV, APVcmv, APVsimv, INTELLiVENT-ASV, (S)CMV+, SIMV+), and 2) The controller and/or humidifier is connected to the ventilator and is operational.
