Medical Device Recalls: FDA Device Safety Alerts And Recall Notices

There is a possibility of reagent leakage from the specimen container.

The external sterile packaging was found adhered to the internal sterile packaging, potentially compromising sterility.

Based on long-term stability testing, it was determined that in units older than 1.5 years (17 months) the mixing rod may, in rare cases, come loose from its lock during the mixing process. Notification is to reduce the shelf life from 3 years to 1.5 years (17 months).

Medline Industries, LP is issuing a recall for specific item(s) and lot(s) of Medline Kits containing Cardinal Health Webcol Large Alcohol Prep Pads. Cardinal Health has deemed Webcol Large Alcohol Prep Pads to be non-sterile following the discovery of a contaminant (Paenibacillus phoenicis) during a routine sterilization dose audit.

During an internal review, Medline identified higher-than-expected endotoxin levels on a representative Medline neuro sponge product, indicating that in-market product may be out-of-specification for endotoxin.

The potential for stiffness value errors when a specific range of image reconstruction parameters is used in combination with Resoundant's algorithm, leading to the reconstruction voxel size settings in the default MRE scan protocol displaying too small.

ventricular fibrillation (VF) during radiofrequency (RF) therapy with the Medtronic Sphere-9 catheter in patients who have a Biotronik Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) or Biotronik Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy-Defibrillator (CRT-D) implanted. The observation is caused by an interaction between the Sphere-9 catheter current flow and a safety feature built into Biotronik ICDs and CRT Ds. Medtronic recommends physicians use increased caution when using the Sphere-9 catheter for RF ablation therapy in patients implanted with a Biotronik ICD/CRT-D system, and to ensure external defibrillation systems are readily available.

Updated software, Brady software maintenance release 6 (SMR6), is now available for the ACCOLADE" family of pacemakers and cardiac resynchronization therapy pacemakers (CRT-Ps)1 and the advisory population is expanding to include all CRT-P and dual-chamber extended life (DR-EL) devices. Dual chamber modes are specifically indicated for treatment of the following: " Conduction disorders that require restoration of AV synchrony, including varying degrees of AV block " VVI intolerance (i.e., pacemaker syndrome) in the presence of persistent sinus rhythm " Low cardiac output or congestive heart failure secondary to bradycardia

The potential for stiffness value errors when a specific range of image reconstruction parameters is used in combination with Resoundant's algorithm, leading to the reconstruction voxel size settings in the default MRE scan protocol displaying too small.

It was identified that certain devices were being operated outside the validated and FDA-cleared display configuration due to user modification of the manufacturer-installed settings. Modifications included disabling Barco Application Appearance Manager (AAM), altering calibration and compliance parameters, and adjusting additional display-related settings. This field correction is being conducted to restore affected system to the validated configuration and reinforce proper use in accordance with the Operator's Manual.

BD identified an issue affecting certain lots of BD GasPak EZ CO2 and BD GasPak EZ Campy Gas Generating Pouch Systems, where gas generating sachets may produce carbon dioxide levels below specification.

Potential for the Version 2 reprocessor connecting tube lock levers may fail prematurely.

Unapproved design changes to the products outside of the 510(k) clearance.

The 510(k) regulatory clearances for certain Control Syringes, Guidewires, and/or High-Pressure Tubing have been rescinded.

The catheter inflation tag attached to the device may contain an incorrect part number with incorrect balloon diameter sizes and inflation pressures for each stage.

The 510(k) regulatory clearances for certain Control Syringes, Guidewires, and/or High-Pressure Tubing have been rescinded.

The affected devices contain a manufacturing defect which may prevent the appropriately sized guidewire from passing through the inner diameter (ID) of the catheter hub.
