Medical Device Recalls: FDA Device Safety Alerts And Recall Notices

Stents may be impacted by a Nitinol anomaly which causes a reduced stent diameter when deployed and corresponding reduced radial force. Issue may result in stent migration.

ICU Medical received one lot of defective primary speakers from our supplier that may fail to produce an audible sound. If the primary speaker in your Plum Duo Infusion Pump fails, the pump may not produce audible alarms, alerts, or provide audible feedback for touchscreen inputs.

Acute circulatory support system pump may not fit into the motor and reports received of the pump not being securely locked into the motor using the screw-in locking feature. Failure to properly lock the pump into motor my not cause pump not inserted alarm, and could lead to particulate, increased heat, anxiety, inconvenience, delay in hemodynamic/ECMO support, stroke, embolism, death.

Potential for microbial contamination.

increase of complaints regarding the breakage of the ampoules within their device systems. An extensive investigation revealed that multiple factors have an impact on the ampoule breakage. An unfortunate combination of these influence factors can lead to unbreakable ampoules. If none or not all ampoules break, the product cannot be used on the patient since no or no appropriate cement dough is formed.

Philips has identified that in a limited number of impacted systems the drip tray beneath the cooling unit was not installed under previous field corrections, or evidence of the implementation was not adequately documented. If it is not installed, there is a potential for coolant liquid to contact electrical components. This could lead to electrical short-circuits, which may trigger system fuses and result in system shutdown.

Due to a manufacturing process issue that may cause carbon build up in the sensor that may result in incorrect low glucose results

Medline kits contain B. Braun IV Administration Sets and Pump Administration Sets which were recalled due to customer complaints identifying that the check valve components may become stuck in the open or closed positions.

Due to complaints, orthopedic rotation tool handle may untread from the shaft resulting in the inability to rotate implant.

Affected lots of syringes may have a crack on the syringe collar, which may lead to delayed or repeated blood draw/fluid delivery. This issue may also lead to blood leakage during sampling of arterial blood or leakage during fluid delivery.

AIRO pendant replacement kits and upgrade do not possess the "Safe Hand Position Warning" label.

Emphasizing instructions for LVP duration programming located in the IFU.

Six (6) identified software issues which may result in the following: system keeps restarting, AMC triple drive, C-Partition of Suite PC running out of free space, system remains in continuous restart mode after the start-up, misalignment of Market Tool Overlay, and longitudinal positional error.

GE HealthCare has become aware that certain Nuclear Medicine systems that are past the End of Guaranteed Service (herein referred to as Impacted Systems and listed in the Affected Product Details section of this letter) could have been transported or relocated without adequate detector support. This could result in excessive stress being applied to the detector mounting mechanisms, compromising their integrity. If this occurs, it can potentially result in a detector fall and lead to life-threatening bodily injury. There have been no reports of detector falls or injuries as a result of this potential issue. The Impacted Systems affected by this notice are those that have not been manufactured for several years. GE HealthCare has previously communicated End of Guaranteed Service for these Impacted Systems.

There is a potential for formation of ice occurring in the venting system of the superconducting magnet of the MRI systems. if a quench occurs in this condition, helium gas may not be able to escape via the designed vent paths, and the pressure in the helium vessel may rise. This pressure build-up could eventually rupture the helium vessel, causing helium gas to be released into the MR scanning room.

Fungal contamination of affected lot with Parengyodontium album.

Due to a manufacturing process issue that may cause carbon build up in the sensor that may result in incorrect low glucose results

Potential for defect for Asserachrom HPIA lot 271288, which can affect every well in the impacted strip and produce negative results.

Medline kits containing Stryker's Strykeflow 2 Suction Irrigators due to a change in design in 2024, irrigation solution is able to travel to the handpiece and battery pack during use of the Strykeflow 2 Suction Irrigator. This design change has caused some devices to leak and/or emit vaporized saline (which can resemble smoke) during use.
