Smiths Medical has identified a potential for ingress of fluid into the device during reprocessing. The ingress takes place at the rear of the device between the end cap and the tube. This could lead to staining of the device or allowing the fluid to remain in the device. In addition, the Hypochlorite Solution (200ppm) and the 4% Acetic Acid disinfectants recommended in the IFU may be inadequate according to the disinfection standards for this type of device.
Gradient coils for certain MR systems (see affected product list in this letter), under specific conditions, can produce elevated acoustic noise during scanning.

Mobile x-ray system receiving/storage(operation) requirements to be followed: Temp:14 to 131(50 to 86) degrees F, RH:10% to 86%(30% to 60%) allow condensation dry time, Atmospheric Pressure:50kPa to 106 kPa(70kPa to 106kPa), Altitude:-102ft to 12,000 ft, (Maximum Gradient:9 degrees Fahrenheit), which mitigate risk of capacitor malfunction, unpredictable behavior, overheating, unintended start-up.

Within the Irish Market, that a Field Safety Notice is being issued due to a select number of authorized labelled Defibtech AED Pads, which have had the authorized label removed and an unauthorized label applied, could potentially lead to expired Defibtech AED Pads appearing as though they are within the acceptable shelf life.there is a possibility of hydrogel drying, which may result in poor electrical connection to the patient, which can reduce the energy delivered to the patient

May Generate Negatively Biased Results When Testing Samples with High Concentrations of CRP, showing less than upper AMI of 90 mg/L (in the 70-90 mg/L range) while the samples having higher than 90 mg/L. User no way to know if the sample has to be diluted to measure again.

The DNA fragments for this specific lot number are too large, resulting in potential background around the cells due to suboptimal hybridization. An absence of signal could also be observed as a result of the suboptimal hybridization of the larger DNA fragments. The user may interpret potential background as a false positive result and an absence of signal as a false negative result, if proper positive and negative controls are not included.
