Medical Device Recalls: FDA Device Safety Alerts And Recall Notices

Increased rate of out-of-specification endotoxin results.

The potential for repeated frames during HF-OCT pullback when using the Gentuity HF-OCT Console (software version 21.11 to 23.3.13) with the Vis-Rx and Vis-Rx Prime catheters. This correction is intended to ensure that users are fully informed of how to recognize, avoid, and mitigate this condition to maintain accurate longitudinal (length) measurements during OCT imaging.

Products may report incorrect AST results during quality control. Health consequences may include delayed response or the need to change to another antifungal agent if laboratory ignores Quality Control test result.

Due to a manufacturing defect, certain Omnipod 5 Pods from 49 lots have an internal soft cannula tear that results in insulin leaking into the Pod instead of being delivered to the user regardless of basal or bolus delivery. This defect results from damage to the unexposed portion of the soft cannula during manufacturing, which would result in a compromised fluid path. The primary failure mode is pump under-delivery due to loss of insulin to an internal leak; in some cases, the defect may also lead to pump shutoff and cessation of insulin delivery when leaked insulin contacts Pod circuity in a manner that results in an electrical short. Under-delivery of insulin (both basal and bolus insulin) or cessation of insulin put users at risk of hyperglycemia, and complications from acute and chronic hyperglycemia, including dehydration, blurry vision, nausea, vomiting, altered mental status, diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), hyperglycemic hyperosmolar syndrome (HHS), or even death. Users may require hospitalization or medical intervention to treat severe adverse health consequences. Not all devices with the defect will issue an alarm or alert the user. If there is sufficient leakage of insulin to cause a short in the circuity, the Pod will issue a Hazard Alarm that stops all insulin delivery and alerts the user to replace their Pod. In addition, if a user s glucose is trending high and is not responding to insulin delivery, the system may reach the maximum amount of insulin microboluses allowed by the system and trigger the Automated Delivery Restriction (ADR) alert that tells users to check their blood glucose and take appropriate actions (i.e., ADR is a response to persistent hyperglycemia and maximum automated delivery constraints rather than a direct detection of the leak). The magnitude of under-delivery is unknown and based on multiple factors, including how much insulin is being delivered, whether an alarm and/or alert triggers, whether and when the user recognizes the device defect, the duration of Pod use, and the size of the tear.

An internal component of the actuators in a certain production batch may not meet the required mechanical strength. This could result, in the worst case scenario, in a sudden loss of the actuator's ability to hold the load, leading to rapid and uncontrolled downward movement of the lifting arm.

Devices which did not meet internal quality specifications were inadvertently distributed.

Due to manufacturing issue (incorrectly processing) with in vitro multidrug resistant test.

Multi-parameter command module has a circuit board issue and when in Auto mode, Cardiac Output (CO) measurement may activate early, resulting in Bad Curve error with no CO measurement or Irregular Curve error with CO measurement not automatically excluded, which may result in inaccurate readings, or the need of additional readings, which may lead to delayed care and/or fluid overload.

Medline Industries, LP has identified through post-market surveillance a potential risk of the syringe rotating adaptor unwinding during use, which may result in a loose connection and/or full disconnection between the syringe and manifold.
