Medical Device Recalls: FDA Device Safety Alerts And Recall Notices

The kits contain BD ChloraPrep Clear - 1 mL and FREPP Clear 1.5 mL Applicators which have a potential breach of sterility in the packaging, due to wrinkles in the paper lidding which may extend to the seal area. If the sterile barrier is compromised, patients and users may be exposed to microbial contamination. Potential health consequences may include no injury, localized infection, or, less commonly, more serious infection requiring medical treatment, antimicrobial therapy, procedural intervention, or hospitalization. In rare cases, particularly in critically ill or immunocompromised patients, severe infection could become life-threatening.

Downstream recall - manufacturer recalled specific lots of BD ChloraPrep Clear - 1mL Applicators. Affected product may exhibit an open or incomplete seal on the packaging of the applicator. Use of potentially contaminated applicator may lead to localized skin or soft tissue infection, or systemic infection or infectious complications.

Complaints of blue-green discoloration in product

Software issue within robotic controller which may cause unintended movement of the robotic arm during bone preparation or instrument positioning.

Philips has identified an unintended radiation issue with the Philips IQon, iCT, Ingenuity, and Brilliance CT 64 systems that could affect the performance of the equipment.

Heightened probability of blood leak from the connection between the Arterial Alpha Clip and the main line or pump segment. Leak during treatment may lead to blood loss and hypovolemia.

There is potential for a delay in AF Burden Alert notification affecting the server software which supports the Insertable Cardiac Monitors (ICMs). Delayed notification of an AF Burden Alert may delay clinical evaluation or therapeutic intervention of an atrial arrhythmia.

The Urinary Catheter Trays contain CliniClean Pericare Wipes which may potentially be contaminated with a lubricant used during the manufacturing process. If a contaminated wipe is used on a patient, localized skin effects may occur. These may include irritation, erythema, or mild inflammation.

Surgical instructions sent for viscoelastic products used during ophthalmic viscosurgical cataract procedures including in part: If resistance is encountered during insertion, withdraw cannula and reassess the insertion conditions (i.e. insertion angle, incision size, etc.) before proceeding because forcing the cannula may cause corneal abrasion, iris trauma or descemet's membrane detachment.
