In some cases, when lubricating grease is present within the headband of the over-ear headphones, it may cause visible, dot- or lineshaped, fat-isointense artifacts during head examinations only. These potential artifacts depend on the position of the headband, the amount of lubricating grease, as well as the sequence parameters used
The stopper block on the LFS bracket could be broken or missing. Without this stopper block, the flat screen attached to the LFS flat screen system can rotate beyond the original angle limit and it could cause excessive force to be given to the spring shaft of the LFS bracket. Due to the excessive force given to the spring shaft, the spring shaft could break and shear off.

Ortho Clinical Diagnostics (QuidelOrtho) confirmed certain Proboscis/Piston Assemblies manufactured between 07-Apr-2022 (Date code: 040722) and 19-Dec-2022 (Date code: 121922) may not perform as intended due to an out-of-specification barrel component. This may cause VITROS VersaTips and/or VITROS MicroTips to be improperly seated on the proboscis, which may result in falsely elevated Gentamicin and Valproic Acid assay results as well as an increased frequency of condition codes resulting in delayed patient results. The issue was identified by internal testing when reported instruments failed to pass release testing and were traced to the molded Proboscis part J56639 with date codes from 040722 onward.
Skin grafts thin and non-uniform when using the affected blades. The issue would be identified at the time of use and may result in the need for additional harvests to adequately cover the area
