Medical Device Recalls: FDA Device Safety Alerts And Recall Notices

Some of the Calibration/Output Certificates had the outputs reversed.

If the adjustment functions of the hand control, as instructed in the Manual, are not locked with the provided key when the patient (child) is unattended, there is an increased risk that the patient (child) or third parties (children) will operate the hand control and trap themselves or others under the bed frame or between the bed frame and the floor. This can lead to serious injuries or even death of the patient (child) or third parties (children).

It has been identified that the impacted docking station (SN 2521008873) was not product released from manufacturing and may not have completed required testing prior to being shipped to your facility. There is a potential risk of electrical shock due to the device s safety testing being unverifiable.

The V-Block Assembly and Trackers A, B, C and E may exhibit signs of early wear and/or corrosion on the exposed magnet face.

This is a sub-recall of a product recall from Huons Co, Ltd., the manufacturer of Bupivacaine Hydrochloride in Dextrose Injection, USP. The recall is due to quality issues identified during an FDA manufacturing facility inspection, citing specific quality deficiencies related to acceptance testing.

Fingerprint scanner may overheat to a temperature to cause 1st degree burn.

Due to unintentionally activated near infrared handheld camera when attempting to turn off illumination during normal clinical workflow transitions, particularly when switching from the handheld camera to the robotic endoscope.

During the device phase of Roadmap Pro, a user may experience a dark image that is not clinically usable. The dark image may result after the user performs a pedal tap (shortly touching the footswitch pedal without generating an Xray image). The pedal tap may cause a dark image with the next fluoroscopy run.

Supplier changes resulted in a fit issue with the Contrast Flow Control Valve (CFCV) interface on the Avanta Injector System. Multiple customer reports indicate that the stopcock cannot be reliably engaged with the CFCV snap interface. In instances where engagement is achieved through applied force, the connection is unstable, and the stopcock may disengage before or during contrast injection, leading to procedure interruption.

Fingerprint scanner may overheat to a temperature to cause 1st degree burn.

This is a sub-recall of a product recall from Huons Co, Ltd., the manufacturer of Bupivacaine Hydrochloride in Dextrose Injection, USP. The recall is due to quality issues identified during an FDA manufacturing facility inspection, citing specific quality deficiencies related to acceptance testing.

B. Braun was notified by our supplier, Ferndale Laboratories, Inc., the manufacturer of MASTISOL¿ Liquid Adhesive, that they have issued a voluntary recall due to potential cracking of the butyrate tubing (outside tube), which renders the product unusable.

The Atlan anesthesia workstation either indicated a failure of the piston ventilator before use or suffered a failure of the mechanical ventilation during use.

Temperature probe devices lack FDA clearance.

These procedure kits contain Bupivacaine Hydrochloride in Dextrose Injection, USP. The manufacturer of the Bupivacaine, Huon Co, Ltd., has issued a voluntary recall due to potential quality issues identified during a recent FDA manufacturing facility inspection.

A limited number of Pocket Adaptor Kits, Model 64001 and 64002, are labeled with incorrect Use-By-Dates.

GE HealthCare has become aware of an unlikely situation where potential loss of ECG and SpO2 monitoring involving ApexPro CARESCAPE Telemetry Server (CTS) v5.0 and v6.0, can result from a persistent NO COMM or OFF NETWORK condition at the CARESCAPE Central Station or CIC Pro Clinical Information Center (Central Station).

A retrospective review identified that there are AIC units requiring specific hardware updates to address potential safety concerns. These hardware updates have been implemented through Abiomed s servicing process; therefore, AICs that have not received service are pending these updates. Issue 1: The proximity of the internal Video Graphics Array cable to the Digital Signal Processor chipset on the Impellatronic printed circuit assembly could potentially result in Electrostatic Discharge coupling into the Digital Signal Processor which may interrupt motor controls. Issue 2: There is a potential for the Compact Flash Memory Card dislodgement due to external applied forces, which could result in AIC startup failures and data logging issues. Issue 3: Improper routing of the fan wire within the AIC could lead to fan wire damage, which may result in console boot-up failure. Issue 4: Potential capacitor related issues on the Power Battery Manager, including the potential for the capacitors to cause pump stop, purge stop, and/or single fan fuse failures.

Incorrect inner package labeling. Boxes labeled 4010-02-15-T3 markers may contain individual packages labeled as T4 Markers.

It was identified that HDDs used in the PCs of Azurion and Allura systems may show a decrease in performance as they age, particularly beyond six years of service. Issues with an HDD may, depending on the specific system PC in which the affected HDD is installed, result in loss of imaging functionality. Additionally, in Allura systems, this may lead to loss of motorized movement, or loss of data. In some cases, a system restart may temporarily restore functionality.
