Medical Device Recalls: FDA Device Safety Alerts And Recall Notices

Solid-State Drives (SSDs) that are not specified in the Medical Device File may have been installed in various PCs. These SSDs may have different performance characteristics, which may include reduced reliability over time such as loss of imaging functionality or motorized movement, a blank or black display, and/or the inability to store newly acquired images or access previously acquired images.

The accessory cart weldment does not conform to weld dimensional specifications which may result in separation of the monitor arm mounting structure from the cart.

The side support of the shower trolley may open unintentionally when the handles are not fully locked and additional force is applied during patient handling. If the side support is not fully locked and an additional force is applied by the caregiver on the handle (e.g., during turning or repositioning), the panel may open unintentionally, which can lead to a resident/patient fall and serious injury, such as head injury, fractures, or other trauma resulting from a patient fall.

Software problem has the potential for an inaccurate displayed longevity estimate.

Warnings added to the IFU for ultrasound endoscopes and water bottle assembly to ensure there is deaerated sterile water in the assembly prior to and during the procedure.

Nylon suture indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation may have needles with distorted curvature, that may break during use, or could cause additional soft tissue or vessel injury, including tearing or bleeding intraoperatively.

Delayed or no result when analyzing clinical samples with EMAG system (ref: 418591/418591U) due to a randomly occurring software error, Error 10003 Heater timeout after updating to recent firmware SP4 Patch 2

Software problem has the potential for an inaccurate displayed longevity estimate.

Therapy Disc (TD) that powers and sends stimulation signals to an Implantable Pulse Generator (IPG), part of a neurostimulation system, has a firmware issue that causes the TD to attempt to restart, then fail, leading it to become non-functional, and if a secondary TD is unavailable, this may lead IPG to become non-functional, thus unable to inhibit transmission of pain signals.

Due to software issue, X-ray interventional system may experience internal error if F-Store or imagine acquisition is performed while clinical analysis function is use.

Retrospective review of servicing records identified AIC units requiring various hardware, firmware, and/or software update(s): 1. RFID firmware issue that may result in failure of the AIC to recognize the purge cassette during case setup or cassette change. This issue may result in delay in procedure or therapy. 2. Potential for the rotary push button (RPB) sticking and unreliable actuation impacting operator ability to select and confirm menu entries. This can result in loss of control of the console. 3. Potential AIC instability that could result in AIC start-up failure, inability to drive the pump, and the need for console exchange. 4. Software defect related to calculator process crash, leading to Negative Central Venous Pressure (CVP) values present in Pulmonary Artery Pressure (PAP) calculations.
