Additional Instructions for Use and Storage Conditions as Coated mesh can adhere to the inner packaging liner due to exposure to high humidity conditions

GE Healthcare conducted a recall involving 2 events affecting the GE LightSpeed CT750 HD. Event 1 - There was a report regarding CT number variance in time line at posterior fossa region of head perfusion. When beam hardening and helical artifacts in this region are reconstructed into the perfusion map, these artifacts will give subtle differences in the CT numbers. Event 2 - The software does no

TCVS is taking action to update the Operators Manual with the specific instructions to respond to this condition and will issue a labeling addendum for current users. In the event of a false high pressure alarm condition occurs that displays a "999" pressure reading and results in stopping a pump, this pressure display can be cleared and the pump re-started by disconnecting the pressure transducer from the system.

Siemens issued a Customer Safety Notice to inform customers of a potential problem when using syngo.plaza. In some instances, it can happen that the laterality information in mammography images is not displayed and these images may not be properly aligned to mammography segments.

The operators manual does not fully describe the sequence of expected events that will occur when a specific operating condition exists. Specifically, if the user is adjusting the System 1 centrifugal pump speed via the Central Control Monitor at the same time an alarm condition occurs with configuration for a pump coast response, the labeling in the operators manual does not fully describe how the pump will react.

Terumo Cardiovascular Systems (TCVS) has become aware that an Advanced Perfusion System 1 (APS1) Centrifugal Pump 'Service Pump' message may occur due to user induced motor movement. In this instance, the APS1 will identify the movement (as it is designed) and display a Service Pump message error. The user might interpret this as a pump which requires service rather than a message displayed due to pump movement while not activated.

CareFusion has received four (4) customer reports of a component (oxygen connector) within the resuscitation bag being occluded which disables the flow of supplemental oxygen to the resuscitation bag and thus may pose a serious patient safety risk.

Due to the coiled design for this product, the product is difficult to clean and the potential for corrosion on the device exists. The potential for harm exists if there is an introduction of foreign material at the operative site originating from the presence of corrosion and/or the retained undefined material that could not be adequately cleaned.

The firm is recalling Fisherbrand Sterile Swabs due to 4 customer complaints reporting the presence of non-pathogenic organisms in two lots. The finding was confirmed in lot 61513 and lot 8710 is also being recalled as a precautionary measure.

DePuy Synthes has issued a Medical Device Correction notice for the 5.0mm Stainless Steel rods. This product was produced using a finishing process not identified as part of the manufacturing specification. No adverse event reports associated with the use of this product were received, and an extensive engineering and medical safety review concluded that the product poses no incremental risk to t

Complaints were received from the field indicating that some Air Pumps were flashing and alarming when connected to the IsoGel AIR" surface upon turning the pump on and the setting it to the IsoGel AIR Mode. Upon further investigation, it was determined that the flashing/alarm being experienced was due to the air pressure being out of the expected range; indicating a blockage within the LAL tubi

It was discovered that there was a potential for the piercing pin on certain Hospira blood sets to puncture the outer wall of blood bags during insertion of the pin into the blood bag.

Potential for a waste fluid overflow condition to accur while running decontamination cycles on the BenchMark ULTRA automated staining platform or the DISCOVERY ULTRA automated staining platform.The waste fluid drainage system may become restricted by build-up of debris in the tubing and in-line filter, thereby inhibiting optimal flow rates. This type of overflow event can lead to migration of flu

Difficulty removing screws from the Invue caddies.

Potiential for a waste fluid overflow condition to accur while running decontamination cycles on the BenchMark ULTRA automated staining platform or the DISCOVERY ULTRA automated staining platform. This type of overflow event can lead to migration of fluid across tubing and wiring within the instrument cabinet resulting in contact with electrical circuitry. This may create shorting conditions and u

ArjoHuntleigh has received reports of unintended movement where the backrest and/or thigh sections of the bed have moved without anyone consciously pressing the control button. These incidents have occurred in High Dependency and Intensive Therapy environments where unintended movement of the patient may have serious consequences.
