BD has determined that the Instructions For Use (IFU) provided by BD is missing certain content that is contained in the manufacturer's IFU. This missing content is related to the interface with the device power supply, as well as cleaning and maintenance instructions. Refer to the attached V. Mueller" Bipolar Forcep IFU.

The power backup battery, under certain conditions, may exhibit reduced battery run-time while in use, and there is a potential that the battery may fail to provide the expected run time in the event of a mains power failure. This could require the clinician to use manual emergency ventilation of another ventilator is not available and the backup battery is exhausted.

An internal technical investigation has confirmed that Thermo Scientific" Gram Negative IVD AST Sensititre Plate may lead to false susceptible results for Proteae Tribe (including Proteus spp., Providencia spp., Morganella Morganii) when tested with doripenem, ertapenem, meropenem, imipenem, cefepime, piperacillin/tazobactam and aztreonam.

Potential for weld separation of the Upper Tulip Head component from the Lower Tulip Head component, which would result in the separation of the Tulip Head from the Screw Shank.

Occlusion (blockage) of the bubble inlet port of the urinary drainage bag which may prevent urine draining into the bag. If the bladder is not emptied within a clinically appropriate time, this may increase the risk of urinary retention

This has been identified a rare occurrence, under a specific scenario, where the circuit is found in a latch-up condition on the PCB that controls the safety function of the Magnetic Safety Tether, that when the magnet is pulled loose as during a fall, the treadmill may fail to stop.

Confirmed an average positive bias of 40% for testosterone concentrations of approximately 660 ng/dL (22.9 nmol/L) and above with the IMMULITE/IMMULITE 1000 Total Testosterone Assay when compared to the IMMULITE 2000/IMMULITE 2000 XPi Total Testosterone Assay. Two (2) lots of Total Testosterone assays for the IMMULITE/IMMULITE 1000, kit lots #515 and #516 were actively distributed to customers when the issue was discovered by Siemens, and they are subject to the correction or removal in this recall (867 total quantity of reagents distributed for each lot). The violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote. In both males and female, testosterone results are not used in isolation but are interpreted in conjunction with clinical history and symptomology as well as with other laboratory testing (e.g. gonadotropins and other sex steroids). A delay in the diagnosis may be experienced and medical intervention, such as repeat testing may be required.
