All Recalls

Due to firm distributing a nonconforming product that supposed to be scrapped and not for human use.

Kits contain recalled Olympus biopsy valves. Olympus is investigating an increase in complaints associated with rubber fragment detachment in the slit of single use biopsy valves. Potential consequences associated with detachment of fragments from valve include foreign body in patient's tracheobronchial tree, which may require intervention for removal. Other potential consequences include inflammatory response, hypoxia, and prolongation of procedure.

Composite polisher cups may crumble and break apart easily, which could cause a delay in patient treatment.

All Medtronic MiniMed infusion pumps (Paradigm series, 600 series, and BLE 700 series) were found to be affected by unintended over- and under-delivery of insulin when the pump is elevated or lowered relative to the infusion site, respectively, because of changes in gravitational force impacting hydrostatic and hydrodynamic pressures. Insulin over-delivery, which can occur when the pump is elevated relative to the infusion site, can result in severe hypoglycemia, altered mental status, seizure, coma, or death. An under-delivery of insulin, which can occur at lowered pump height conditions relative to the infusion site, can result in severe hyperglycemia, dehydration, diabetic ketoacidosis, or death.

Potential for attenuation degradation over time, decreasing the lifespan.

Philips has identified instances where X-ray imaging may not be initiated or may occur intermittently when using the wired foot switch.

Due to a radiotherapy medical system software defect, when performing angular roll corrections followed by a repeat localization, the roll corrections applied in the initial localization scan are not carried through to treatment delivery leading to the treatment plan dose being delivered to the incorrect location, potentially a displacement of 5mm or higher, with a 10% to 20% underdose.

Infusion sets may contain dull/blunt needle tip, which may be difficult to advance, and/or break.

In some situations, the Obstruction Alarm does not trigger within the timeframe dictated by the relevant standards and may take up to four breaths.

Due to increased complaints for broken/frayed grip cables for reusable instruments.

There was an error in inspection and programming of the eTRAX needle sensor for Aurora trackers. The result is a potential for the needle tip position to be incorrectly identified on the user interface.

Potential adulteration with erucic acid from mustard oil ingredient.

Foreign objects are glass varying in size from 1-3cm long and 2-4mm wide.
