Lipemic interference for the Magnesium serum application failed to meet the performance claim as defined in the IFU. Use may cause a maximum positive bias up to 30.38% in low magnesium patient samples. The impact is only to the clinical interpretation of magnesium results in the presence of lipemia.
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.

Tile kits that allow one to install and situate a video camera within a patient environment are not fitting properly in some domestic institution ceiling tile grids that have a thinner style grid frame. The ceiling tile may suddenly fall from the ceiling and cause a safety risk to the patient or end user.
Due to Label/Pouch mix-up. Pouches incorrectly labeled. Incorrect shelf carton label or pouch label due to inadequate manufacturing line clearance. As a result of this labeling mix-up, there is the possibility of inadvertently selecting the incorrect coil size for the procedure potentially causing some harms like vessel damage, an inability to treat with said device and potential rupture of the aneurysm.
