Various Presource Kits contain a pre-assembled Filter and Anesthesia Circuit that may contain outer plastic packaging on one or more components. If the packaging is removed without disassembling the components, remnants of the plastic from the packaging material may become lodged in the filter potentially causing an obstruction of airflow.

There is a potential for lead damage due to the use of the lead cap provided in DBS and Dystonia kits. Medtronic has received reports of DBS leads being damaged at the connector end of the lead when the lead cap is used. The connector end of the lead is the end of the lead connected to the lead extension. Tightening or loosening of the setscrew may twist the setscrew connector block and may damag

There have been approximately 2% of the x-ray generators manufactured between February 2012 and November 2012 returned due to errors. These generators showed the type of defect that indicates poor contact of HT transformer power pin. The defect is a bent connector associated with the generator.

Fastener bolts on the heat exchanger were not properly torqued and part of the heat exchanger can detach from the gantry and hit the inside of the covers and other components of the gantry possibly resulting in the oil conduit breaking, spilling oil within the gantry and outside the system. This issue affects GE Healthcare VCT for Discovery VCT, Discovery RX VCT, and Discovery PET/CT 690, Lightspe

There is the potential of the residual moisture of the Diacap Ultra membrane being reduced over time, which results in the reduction of the membrane permeability (ultrafiltration coefficient).

Owens & Minor Distribution, Inc. is conducting a market withdrawal of MediChoice Applicator OB-GYN 8 inch product that does not meet our quality standards because the rayon may loosen or unravel from the applicator during use.

The firm is initiating this recall of the SL3 Soft Tissue Laser equipped with a fiber optic Unifiber system which contains a fragile glass filament because the fiber broke near the hand piece.

A5 gearboxes responsible for pitch (head up and head down) and roll (patient left and right) motions of the RoboCouch manipulator may be defective.

The IFU provided with the free strand ORTHOCORD sutures currently indicates that approximately 100% suture strength remains at six weeks after implantation. While this statement is true for Violet ORTHOCORD sutures, it is an inaccurate statement for Blue ORTHOCORD free strand sutures. Based on in-vivo strength retention study, a Blue ORTHOCORD sutures maintain approximately 80% of strength at six

Orthopedic Alliance is recalling Blue & Gold Implants and Instruments because the Blue & Gold system is not supported by adequate testing and documentation to demonstrate that it meets performance or safety standards. These inadequacies might result in product peformance failures that could cause patient harm due to implant breakage, loosening, or inadequate sterilization.

Varian has identified an anomaly with the RPM Respiratory Gating System version I.7.5 with 3D Option. While operating with the 6-dot marker block, this version of RPM Gating may produce an inverted respiratory waveform in amplitude and phase-gating sessions.

Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics, Inc. (OCD) determined that extension springs on some VITROS¿ Systems may be out of its manufacturing specifications. Extension springs are part of the slide alignment guide assembly. During an internal evaluation in its manufacturing facility, it was discovered that an extension spring had insufficient force. If the extension spring does not provide sufficient force, MicroSlides may not be properly positioned within the MicroSlide incubator which has the potential to cause imprecise results. Extension springs are just one component in the slide alignment assembly. OCD's evaluation determined that the probability of an out of specification extension spring alone adversely affecting results is unlikely.

Abbott Diagnostics is recalling Clinical Chemistry Phenobarbital reagent lots 62299UN12 and 85773UN12 due to imprecision issues which increase with the age of the reagent lot. The imprecision of the Phenobarbital assay is d 7% Total CV%; however, internal testing confirmed CVs up to approximately 12% for in-date reagent lots over five months old. Although lot 52803UN12 is now expired, it exhibit

GE Healthcare has recently become aware of a potential safety issue with respect to the Results Viewer in the AW Server. After starting the Results Viewer with the selected series of a patient, the pixel and certain annotation data from a different patient is displayed in one of the viewports. This occurs on an occasional basis, when multiple users are simultaneously accessing the Results Viewe
