New warnings and precautionary statements on product labelling: Reagent 2 (R2) of BIOPHEN Protein C 5 contains the chemical substance - Cesium Chloride which changed classification and has become hazardous according to the CLP regulation ((EC) No 1272/2008) is suspected of damaging fertility

Under specific circumstances, the U.S. product registration system did not send up enablement requests to U.S. LATITUDE Customer Support during an 8-month interval in 2022. For these patients, the HeartLogic Index and any associated Yellow Alerts are currently not visible in LATITUDE as may have been intended by the healthcare provider..

Product did not meet shelf-life testing requirements resulting in a breach of the sterility of the Genesis container holding surgical equipment.

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).

MiniCap Disconnect Cap with Povidone-Iodine are packaged in foil pouches, which may have been incorrectly sealed, i.e., the pouches may have open or weak seals. This could lead to exposure to air, resulting in insufficient iodine/dry sponge inside the MiniCap, which could lead to the potential for inadequate disinfectant.

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.

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.

An unexpected shutdown of the IABP may occur due to a failure of the connection between the Coiled Cord cable and the Cable Assembly backplane to the Coiled Cord cable which provides the communication between the display head and base unit.

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.

Manufactured with misaligned axis resulting in lenses with the incorrect power, users may experience poor visual acuity

Sterile Barrier Breach of Breather Pouch may cause infection or vision loss for ophthalmic procedures in cases where there is direct patient contact

Infusion pump PCs with specific software/network cards/IP addresses can have network/wireless connection failure. Could cause inability to receive new datasets and inability to transfer retrospective analytics data to connected systems. Users with interfaces to electronic medication record or admin discharge transfer, may be unable to receive/send data; infusions may need to be manually programmed
