Vital Images has made a decision to perform a field correction to the Vitrea CT Multi-Chamber Cardiac Functional Analysis application. Vital Images has identified a defect in which numerical values may be incorrect in the Results Table under the Cardiac Analysis portion of the user interface.
One batch of 4.5 mm diameter Trigen Low-Profile Bone Screws were incorrectly anodized with a gold coating (indicating a 5 mm diameter) instead of a gray coating (indicating a 4.5 mm diameter).
A defect on the master-side connector block of the pneumatic tool changer could introduce a tilt in the collimator housings, resulting in a potential shift to the central axis of the radiation beam. The issue could pose significant clinical impact to plans created using the smallest collimators.
HORIBA Medical is informing all ABX PENTRA 400 Analyzer with I.S.E. Module customers that there are no Linearity Limit Flags for the I.S.E. assays currently programmed into the ABX PENTRA 400 Analyzer software. All other assays run on this analyzer do have Linearity Limit Flags to alert the user to values that fall below or above the validated linearity range for each assay.
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.
Depending on the system configuration, a software error message in versions 5.0.1 and 5.0.2. occurs if a beam plan is transmitted from XKnife using DICOM-RT.
Advanced Sterilization Products (ASP) has determined that a limited number of EVOTECH ECRs manufactured between 2011 and 2012 did not receive sufficient High Potential (HIPOT) DC voltage testing.
Philips Healthcare discovered the customer was performing CTDI measurements for facility accreditation and received results that were 15 to 25% higher than Philips protocol parameters stated.
The product contains an iodine 10% Ampule (10% Povidone Iodine swab) which is being recalled by the firm's distributor. The labeling of the iodine 10% Ampule labels state that the contents of the package are sterile and does not clarify that this sterility claim is only applicable to the applicator. The antiseptic solution that is applied to the skin is a cutaneous disinfectant, and is not sterili
Ormco Corporation is voluntarily recalling one (1) lot of Bracket Buccal Tubes as a result of a packaging error. More specifically, the Bracket Buccal Tubes product package correctly identifies the product as gingival (0¿) offset brackets, but actually contains distal (10¿) offset brackets. Use of the affected product may cause unintended rotation of the molars. Although reversible, a delay in
The firm voluntarily recalled Biothane Restraint Cuffs, Catalog No. 2900, that did not meet the required specifications for tensile strength. Failure of these rivets could allow the cuff to become disconnected from the connecting strap and allow patients to regain free use of the limb.

It was found that there is a problem with the LCD monitor used in the console. The LCD monitor may become blank during use. Specifically, the backlight of the LCD monitor may turn off while the system is in use, causing the LCD monitor to become blank. However, the other parts of the system continue to operate normally, and the risk of a serious health hazard is therefore very low. The LCD Moni
Due to a problem with the control software of the x-ray high-voltage generator, if scanning is performed with a tube current less than 30mA, the control software may detect an error and perform error processing even though the x-ray output is normal.
