Software related alarm escalation defect occurs after approximately 25 days of continuous use. Technical alarm escalation for the following alarms, signal loss, all leads off, low battery, SpO2 sensor off, and signal interference, does not occur in the telemetry receiver as specified. Caregiver may not respond to the initial technical alarm and may not be aware of the continuing technical failure.

One MetaFix size 7 collarless stem from batch 478179 which was incorrectly labelled as a MetaFix size 3 collared stem from batch 485630.

Application error problems: Rebalance scope message: 1.Rebalancing process 2.Usage of Robot Recovery: 3. Autofocus not available:

Mis-wired component-the improperly wired component can result in additional noise on the power supply output. Noise on the ultrasonic input circuit is not consistent with electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) standards and may decrease the overall reliability of the system and result in delay of treatment

As a result of unclear guidance in the service manual, the table can drop during a specific service activity if the wrong screws are removed by the service personnel without the appropriate table supports in place resulting in injury to service personnel.

Software issue resulting in signals and sample test results of Pre-Wash tests being impacted. The following assays are considered impacted by the issue: Anti-HAV2, Anti-HBc IgM, IGF-1, Myogloin, Rubella IgG, and Toxo IgG.

Complaints received in which needle and needle holder have detached from the syringe after injection as well as needle not retracting into the syringe as per intended use, resulting in an increased risk of needle stick injury to the end user

The Merlin" 2 PCS model MER3700 is a portable, dedicated programming system designed to interrogate, program, display data from, and test Abbott Medical implantable medical devices during implant and follow-up.

There is a potential for programmer software (Merlin PCS) and remote monitoring software application (Merlin.net) to display overestimated predicted battery longevity for certain pacemakers.
