During a complaint investigation it was determined that an error was observed within the instruction manual included with some scopes. Specifically, The Quick Connector Kits (QCK) and tray information, specified for the STERIS System 1E (SS1E) sterilization method within the instruction manual is incorrect. If the user uses SS1E to sterilize the impacted scopes and referred to the manual concerning the QCK information, the sterility of reprocessed scope cannot be guaranteed.

Embolization device delivery system may fracture at the distal section during device implantation. A weakened bond may result in unintended separation, where the distal portion of the device delivery system remains in the patient. If a Pipeline Flex embolization device has already been implanted successfully, there is no increased risk to patients due to this issue.
False positive warning may occur after: 1) VNS Generator interrogated at 0mA normal output current, 2) Generator programmed to non-0mA output current, 3) In-session re-interrogation performed. Users instructed to lower output current and widen pulse width. Only system diagnostic testing evaluates output current. Users may conclude device malfunction, could lead to medical/surgical intervention.
A capacitor inside the converter of the Velara X-ray generator may fail after a large number of surges in a short period of time. When this occurs, no image acquisition is possible.

The medical procedure trays contain one or more recalled surgical gowns. The gowns were manufactured at locations that did not maintain proper environmental conditions. There is no assurance that the surgical gowns are sterile. An inadequately sterilized surgical gown could compromise a sterile field and increase the risk of a surgical site infection. Due to the configuration of the trays, the recalled gowns may come into contact with other components within the tray posing a risk of cross contamination.

The Ysio system may process incorrect internal values for the position of its ceiling tube stand. If in this situation the user activates longitudinal or transversal stand movement (by using the buttons at the tube head or the remote console), the systems controls may (depending on the values being processed) initiate a correction of the tube stand position, resulting in an unexpected movement.
