Medical Device Recalls: FDA Device Safety Alerts And Recall Notices

Boston Scientific is replacing specific FARASTAR PFA generators which have a configuration that is not compatible for use with the FARAPOINT PFA catheter.

Boston Scientific's complaint investigations have identified that a subset of air ingress complaints are associated with hemostatic valve damage related to dilator insertion orientation during device preparation. Valve damage may result in air ingress, potential air embolism, and associated patient harm. This risk can be mitigated by inserting the dilator straight through the center of the valve and fully advancing it into the sheath body.

A potential for introducer sheath leakage from under the sheath cap and along the hub score lines, identified in 14Fr and 23Fr Introducers. These manufacturing issues are not visually detectable by the user, and 14Fr or 23Fr Introducers are provided in every pump set.

Kits containing Lidocaine HCL Injection USP 1% 10mg/mL 5mL ampules subject to another recall recalled due to not meeting release criteria for sterility.

Due to manufacturing issues, there is a potential for the 14Fr and 23Fr introducer sheaths to leak from the sidearm, under the sheath cap, and along the hub score lines in the hub region.

Packaging and labeling discrepancy involving product size identification and associated Unique Device Identifier (UDI/GTIN).

Medtronic received two complaints of loose foreign material confirmed as containing trace levels of blood.

Robotic-assisted surgical system arm drapes may detach from the instrument arm due to an issue involving the drape rings located at the top of the product, which may expose a section of instrument arm, which may result in procedure delay or conversion to an alternate minimally invasive approach. Retrospectively reported recall.

Kits contain Zimmer Biomet mixing bowls and spatulas, which were recalled due to seal nonconformities which present risk of sterility breach. Health consequences from use of product include clinically insignificant extension of surgery to find another readily available device.

Some sterilization parameters included in the IFU may not consistently render the devices adequately sterile and therefore should no longer be used to sterilize the devices.

Unilateral external fixation devices may be incorrectly labeled. Minirail M101 was labeled as M103, Minirail M103 was labeled as M101, and Minirail M122 was labeled as M111

GE HealthCare has become aware that in certain Optima XR200/220/240amx systems that have had a column replacement completed, functional testing of the safety pawl may not have been performed to confirm proper assembly. If a failure of the internal counterpoise cable occurs, the Column Safety mechanism will not work, causing the arm with X-ray tube and collimator to drop downward on the column track. This could result in patient injury during an exam.

Getinge identified that Vasoview Hemopro 2 devices from Lot 3000547797 were exposed to an out-of-specification sterilization dose during a gamma sterilization run (Run ID 1183-28782A) performed by STERIS at its Whippany, NJ facility between March 31 and April 1 of 2026.
