There are lower than expected MICs for some gram negative species.

Updated cleaning instructions are being provided for the Controller AC Adapter, DC Adapter, and Battery to provide clarity to avoid cleaning the power source connector pins, as this could remove the lubricant that is applied to the pins as a mitigation for power switching.

The device has similarities in design to another device that the firm recently issued a field correction on due to instances of tip detachment and embolization.

During insertion of the middle phalanx implant into bone, the driver may deform the implant locking mechanism and result in inadequate mating force between the middle and proximal phalanx implants, resulting in surgical delay, in-situ removal of the implant, use of alternative surgical approach, disassembly of the implants post-operatively, and revision

If a new primary image set is selected while the cine loop is running, the primary image set will be displayed as both primary and secondary image set in all side-by-side views. This will also be true for any new patient or case opened while the cine loop is running

Optic nerve head angiography scan to be turned off due to its distribution without pre-market clearance.

The boxes used by the shipper were not validated for use during transport.

When resuming from a beam pause, the Proton Therapy System does not verify whether the beam range has not been manually modified during the pause and is still the prescribed one. Therefore, if an operator manually modified the range during a pause, there is a risk that a portion of the treatment beam after the resume is delivered with an error in range

There is potential for multiple issues due to a manufacturing nonconformity.

During insertion of the middle phalanx implant into bone, the driver may deform the implant locking mechanism and result in inadequate mating force between the middle and proximal phalanx implants, resulting in surgical delay, in-situ removal of the implant, use of alternative surgical approach, disassembly of the implants post-operatively, and revision

COVID-19 test kits (Antibody Rapid Test kit and Antigen Rapid Test Kit) are not authorized, cleared, or approved for marketing and/or distribution in the U.S.

Outer labelling (HEMASHIELD GOLD Knitted Microvel Double Velour Bifurcated Vascular Graft, D: 16 x 8 mm; L: 40 cm) does not correspond to the (inner) sterile packaging labelling (HEMASHIELD GOLD Knitted Microvel Double Velour Straight Vascular Graft, D: 7 mm L: 60 cm). Mislabeled product could cause a disruption of the vascular anastomosis in the long term, creating a pseudo-aneurysm

There is an incorrect statement regarding MR Compatibility in the BioPro Titanium MPJ implant IFU (IFU BP102303 rev 05) and patient implant cards (22266 rev 00) which indicates that the BioPro MPJ Implant has been tested for safety and compatibility in the MR Environment and is MR Conditional. MR Testing has not been conducted on the titanium version of the MPJ.

This strain should be resistant to high levels of Gentamicin and be resistant to Gentamicin Synergy. A specific lot was found susceptible to Gentamicin Synergy during in-house testing.

Real-time shelf life testing failed at 24 months

Stryker received two (2) complaints for units from specific lots of Inner and Outer Dilators not fitting together properly during a surgical procedure. Some dilators from these lots and from other lots were subsequently determined to be affected by a manufacturing nonconformance.

A limited number of ventilators were assembled with expired adhesive. If the adhesive fails, a bracket may become loose and potentially damage the capacitors, which could cause the ventilator to stop providing ventilation to the patient. This failure may either activate both visual and audible alarms, or it may not sound or display an alarm (a silent shutdown).

The design of the seats did not consistently have the adequate strength required to support the customers weight with continued use.
