Medical Device Recalls: FDA Device Safety Alerts And Recall Notices

Due to broken connector which may result in a temporary interruption of prescribed cold therapy.

A software defect in which a low-priority file I/O check blocks the higher-priority thread responsible for processing estimated glucose values (EGVs) and trend arrows. When the app is running in the background, EGV notifications may queue up and then "replay" sequentially when the user brings the app to the foreground, causing the Glucose Compass to flicker through previous EGVs. In more severe instances, the app may perceive signal loss and deploy signal loss mitigations. This delay in EGV and alert processing creates a risk that users may miss detection of a hypoglycemic or hyperglycemic event, or make treatment decisions based on outdated glucose information.

Software update is needed for laser systems, for topical infrared heating to provide temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain, spasms, stiffness associated with minor arthritis, and to temporarily increase local blood circulation, operating at a maximum average power output of 70W, which is beyond the FDA cleared 60W.

Software issue: When programming the SynchroMed Pump with the A810 CP App in Flex Infusion Mode, the infusion steps should automatically be arranged in consecutive order, from earliest to latest. However, in rare cases, the steps may be displayed out of order. If this occurs, the programmed Flex Infusion schedule will not be delivered at the intended time, if at all.

Due to broken connector which may result in a temporary interruption of prescribed cold therapy.

If the connection between a mint Lesion workstation and the mint Lesion server is interrupted while performing a read, in rare cases some information may be lost or incorrectly linked to other patients.

Due to manipulator containing screws with in the arm sub-assembly that my be susceptible to breaking.

Due to a manufacturing issue (i.e. malfunctioning of electrical Leakage tester).

Ten complaints have been received identifying issues at the time of use related to the package seal, including incomplete seals, wrinkles in the seals or peeling seals. Compromised sterile barrier may lead to clinically insignificant extension of surgery or infection leading to surgical intervention.

Cyber vulnerability of BLE communication was found by CISA VDP program.

The non-tamperproof battery door supplied with the sound processor fails to conform to IEC 60601-1-11:2015 by not requiring the use of a tool to replace the button/coin cell battery.

Kits contain the McKesson TRUE Metrix PRO Professional Monitoring Blood Glucose System that has been recalled for an issue with the software design of the E-5 Error Code where the meter displays an E-5 error code for a very high blood glucose event (> 600 mg/dL) or when there is a test strip error, which can lead to operator confusion when evaluating patients and a delay in appropriate treatment. This is a downstream recall of Trividia Health Class I, Recall Event ID 98317.

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

insulin pump software versions 1.4.2, and 1.4.3 issue with Dexcom Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) G7 sensor may result in delayed CGM reading then switch to non-CGM dosing, leading to only basal/requested meal doses provided, no correction doses/insulin reductions/suspensions for high/low glucose unless blood glucose entered for sensor life or replacement. Potential health risks to users include severe hyperglycemia with and without DKA and severe hypoglycemia.

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.

Software issue that renders the touch screen unresponsive.

Potential for spontaneous closures of Hamilton HxRunControl software during execution of Autolys protocols after deployment of the PCT software for AutoLys Hamilton STAR.

Philips has identified three software issues: 1. During a continuous CT (CCT) scan, there is the potential that the Gantry could remain at the current scan position after pressing Go. 2. Potential where the message of Previous Surview Exists Select Previous Surview? or should display but does not appear. 3. After performing Surview and planning the Brain Helical acquisition by setting Brain Area DoseRight Index to increase the dose, there is the potential that the Define Head Area option in the context menu is grayed out.

Due to a quality issue regarding the presence of burr on the finished cervical plate product.

it was found that in versions 1.3.7, 1.4.2, and 1.4.3, the Lock Screen and Limited Access Passcode Screen on the iLet graphical user interface (GUI) include certain icons displayed in the status bar that are active, thereby allowing the user to bypass those screens when those icons on the status bar are pressed, allowing unauthorized access while the device is in Limited Access Mode. A Health Risk associated with Limited access mode includes severe hypoglycemia due to unauthorized access to the iLet if someone were to make unauthorized meal announcements or stopped insulin delivery.
