Medical Devices Recalls

The external diameter of the biopsy instrument is larger than the internal diameter of the coaxial needle, which could lead to: 1) Procedural delay, 2) Requirement of an additional device, 3), Needle tip breakage, if used despite incompatibility.

Nonsterile syringe potentially exposing the patient to pathogenic microorganisms and a risk of local infection.

Due to temperature excursions with products (products being stored outside of the required temperature specifications) that may cause a reduction in performance. The temperature excursion was as a result of shipping delays.

TFNA Femoral Nails labeled and etched as 200mm may measure 170mm in length, and TFNA Femoral Nails labeled and etched as 170mm may measure 200mm in length

When the user pauses the beam delivery, the dose timer is reset (to zero), and as a result may deliver an unexpected dose to the patient.

Select CardioMEMS PA Sensors (Model CM2000) operate outside of the intended frequency range at higher elevations when readings are taken over approximately 2,000 ft. (610 meters) above sea level; operation outside of the intended radiofrequency has the potential to result in inaccurate readings or sensor signal acquisition difficulties.

There have been reported failures of the high pressure helium regulator, which may cause a helium leak in the Cardiosave Hospital Cart. In instance of helium regulator failure, a Pump Console s internal reservoir of helium will not be replenished when docked into an impacted Hospital Cart. This may result in an insufficient amount of helium within the internal reservoir.

Product is labeled with an incorrect expiration date.

Firm has received reports of damaged, worn, or torn O-rings on the Cardiosave Pump Console quick disconnect fitting, which results in helium tank leaks. If the helium supply is depleted, therapy will be interrupted.

Automated external defibrillators were potentially distributed with the incorrect language configuration, which can lead to a delay in therapy or no therapy.

An unexpected shutdown of the IABP may occur due to loss of communication between the Executive Processor PCBA and the Video Generator PCBA. This may result in an interruption to therapy which may threaten the hemodynamic stability of the supported patient as the user is left unaware to the status of the Cardiosave IABP.

Users received sample collection kits that were assigned to another user. Incorrect shipping labels were applied to the collection kits. As a result, a number of users received sample collection kits that were assigned to another user resulting in a mismatch of user identification. The impact to users is that they may return the sample and obtain potential incorrect Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) results and/or the sample may be rejected due to mismatched demographics resulting in delayed testing and/or treatment.

Re-optimization, after adding contours without forced density outside the external structure, may result in inaccurate dose presentation.

Labeling being updated to assure user is securing the siderail to a locked position to prevent potential patient fall and injury.

(610 meters) above sea level; operation outside of the intended radiofrequency has the potential to result in inaccurate readings or sensor signal acquisition difficulties.

Affected lots have the potential for a broken sled vane, which may cause the reload to misfire leading to non-functional staple line closure, transecting tissue without forming staples, and tissue hang-up. These conditions may be associated to a delay to treatment, unspecified infection, hemorrhage/blood loss/bleeding, failure to anastomose, peritonitis, sepsis, pneumothorax, tissue trauma, or death.

Radiated Radiofrequency (RF) emissions of the CardioMEMS Patient Electronics Systems (PES) Models CM1000, CM1010 and CM1100 and CardioMEMS Hospital Electronics Systems (HES) Model CM3000 exceed certain emissions limits and have the potential to cause interference with other medical devices, such as implantable neurostimulators, pacemakers, cardiac defibrillators, continuous glucose monitors, or other bio-wearable sensors when in close proximity to an active Hospital or Patient Electronics System (i.e., during readings).

Direct amplification Discs , used with COVID-19 and Flu A/B & RSV assays, may leak and cause contamination, cross-contamination, invalid results, and error codes.
