There is a potential dislodgement of the Prismaflex Set deaeration chamber from the Prismaflex Control Unit.

Increased reports of stent deployment and expansion issues. The most common outcome reasonably foreseeable resulting from difficulty deploying the stent is prolongation of the procedure to exchange the device for a new one. The most serious reasonably foreseeable outcome in cases where the first flange is unable to deploy or expand would be a cascade of events resulting in additional intervention, either endoscopic or surgical, to remove the stent and close the puncture site.

It was found that the contacts of the electromagnetic contactors used inside the cabinet of the X-ray high-voltage generator were welded, and the current might continue to be supplied to the power supply circuit even if the power of the device is cut off. As a result, it cannot be denied that the circuit in question overheats and damages the surrounding parts. It may also cause smoke.

Test strips and other tests including for near-patient testing, that require a 510(k) were distributed before they could be legally marketed to U.S. customers; devices may cause false or inaccurate diagnostic result by lay person and lead to inappropriate medical intervention.

There may be voids located in the seal of Tyvek pouches associated with identified catalog numbers and lots. A compromised sterile barrier has potential of bioburden contamination which could lead to infection.

Software device that is an accessory for image-guided interventional and diagnostic procedures involving prostate has accessories that may not function properly with Windows 10, which may cause patient harm during biopsy or cause treatment/therapy delays, so firm is recommending stop use until device is verified/validated with Windows 11.

Customers may experience inaccurate test results by observing a higher frequency of classification in the indeterminate and positive zone and/or low specificity when compared back to FDA-cleared CSF ratio/PET imaging, due to falsely elevated positive ratio or falsely elevated indeterminate ratio results causing an incorrect classification of a patient as having amyloid pathology associated with Alzheimer s disease (positive result) and/or requiring more clinical testing of that patient (indeterminate result).

A customer experienced that during assembly and load testing of the device, the bolt for mounting the lifting bar broke. Upon further investigation of this customer complaint, it became clear that the defect occurs as a result of deformation of the materials involved between the lifting bar and the arm of the device. Such deformation can lead to limited mobility in the joint, which prevents proper functionality of the equipment.
