Medical Devices Recalls

Due to the potential for unexpected motion caused by the partial disengagement of the instrument from the system.

BD Intraosseous Needle Kits may exhibit: 1) Increased force required to remove the stylet from intraosseous needle during placement may cause removal of the entire needle assembly and loss of intraosseous access; 2) Stylet safety mechanism may not engage as the stylet is removed; 3) Metal discs in the powered driver may stick rendering the driver unusable.

Electrical component failure within the control unit. The observed failure mode is a loss of function of the device when used with handpiece and foot switch.

When a run is aborted, the cooling period protection does not occur and the user is able to open the lid prior to the completion of the cooling period, exposing the user to heated instrument components. Incidental contact with heated instrument components may result in an injury such as minor burns.

Incorrect labeling; There is potential that the drill packaging contains the incorrect part number.

Integra has received complaints associated with ICP readings drifting to -50 mmHg (out-of-range) and may manifest an error message "sensor or extension cable failure!" The firm has found that this is caused by electrical interference from a component of the monitor's circuit board and from the environment.

Kits contain leaking bottles of isopropyl alcohol

May have the potential for leakage at the housing component of the stopcock, may result in delay or interruption in treatment, exposure to infusate and biohazardous material, under dosing/under infusion, contamination and/or air ingress.

Insufficient clamping force of the cross connectors in the spinal surgical system which may lead to movement of the connectors on the rods and/or microparticle abrasion.

Under rare conditions, SIGNA Premier gradient coils could result in elevated acoustic noise during scanning. After prolonged periods of elevated acoustic noise, this could potentially lead to hearing loss.

When scanning sponges out after a surgical procedure, an error may allow for a duplicate sponge to be counted without the prompt to make a case note and allowing the case to close. The software update will prevent the occurrence of this error.

Manufactured with a Galvanized High Carbon Steel spring instead of the correct 302 Stainless steel spring. has the potential to oxidize and corrode in the ATTUNE Measured Sizing & Rotation Guide, resulting in surgical delay, debris in surgical field, Osteolysis, Poor Joint Mechanics, Soft Tissue Irritation, Pain

May have the potential for leakage at the housing component of the stopcock, may result in delay or interruption in treatment, exposure to infusate and biohazardous material, under dosing/under infusion, contamination and/or air ingress.

A customer reported a problem with the reagent and calibrator. Randox Laboratories carried out an investigation and confirmed the issue. The complaint is pertaining to atypical calibration curves that can results in non-numerical results. This affects Siemens Atellica CH analysers only. Customer have reported an atypical calibration curve that results in the values around the low QC range to produce a non-numerical result. It appears to be related to the bottle values of the calibrator producing a curve shape that is too linear for the logitlog calculation to calculate. This issue can only be identified in the Atellica graphical view of the calibration. In most of the cases when this has occurred, it is picked up by the QC generating a Math Error, however, there are reports of QC shifts after calibration without the Math Error flagged that may be related to this issue. Results reported with STFR Level 1, with a concentration less than 1.7mg/L, using TF10159 and TF10161 can be underestimated by up to 30%. This issue has been reported with reagent lots 575475 and 562691, calibrator lots 537725 and 562696. No other complaints received.

Nonfunctional key due to the potential for damage to the key pins cause by force of use during assembly of the tibia locking ring.

Sensis/Sensis Vibe SoftwareVD12A, the ComboBox may encounter a disconnect of its communication during the first patient examination of the day or after a longer period of inactivity to the Sensis Vibe system resulting in no vital signs being available.

Firm has revised labeling to consistently call out storage conditions and revised the instructions for use to clarify that the temperature range symbol is intended to indicate storage conditions (versus transport conditions or tolerance conditions for the package material).

Set screwdriver fails during surgery by deforming at the tip during engagement and manipulation of the implant.

May have the potential for leakage at the housing component of the stopcock, may result in delay or interruption in treatment, exposure to infusate and biohazardous material, under dosing/under infusion, contamination and/or air ingress.

Modification to the LumiraDx SARS-CoV-2 Antibody (Ab) test that was made outside the scope of the approved EUA.
