Medical Device Recalls: FDA Device Safety Alerts And Recall Notices

A software issue will terminate an examination during the image reconstruction process if the scan parameters are manually adjusted such that reconstruction requirements exceed the available system memory.

Contamination within the release test equipment flow path could have affected the accuracy of the nebulizer flow rate. Affected devices returned to firm and testing confirmed devices meet specifications.

A software issue will terminate an examination during the image reconstruction process if the scan parameters are manually adjusted such that reconstruction requirements exceed the available system memory.

A software issue will terminate an examination during the image reconstruction process if the scan parameters are manually adjusted such that reconstruction requirements exceed the available system memory.

Due to software issue with ultrasound system, doppler sample is displayed shallower than its actual measurement location, potentially causing inaccurate blood flow velocity measurements and misdiagnosis.

Retrospective report of issues remedied in 2019 with firmware and software patches: 1. Defects in optical bench (OPB) firmware V2.19, which affected the accuracy and stability of the pressure signal the AIC system performance depends on. 2. Software defects leading to unreliable or missing placement signal, unresponsive start Impella soft key during disconnect/reconnect, and false Position in Ventricle alarm in certain AICs.

A software issue will terminate an examination during the image reconstruction process if the scan parameters are manually adjusted such that reconstruction requirements exceed the available system memory.

Due to a software issue

A software synchronization/timing issue in the barcode scanning and patient data processing component that causes the device to intermittently retain a previously scanned barcode including patient identification (ID) barcodes and quality control (QC) solution ID barcodes when a new barcode is scanned, resulting in the prior barcode information remaining displayed on the screen for the current test. When this defect occurs and the operator accepts the incorrectly displayed patient information without recognizing the mismatch, the current patient's glucose result will be incorrectly assigned to the previous patient's medical record and transmitted to the data management system (DMS), and the current patient's medical record will not receive a result, leaving their glucose status unrecorded and their clinical management without the information needed to guide treatment decisions. The previous patient, whose medical record now contains a glucose result that does not belong to them, may receive inappropriate clinical intervention based on that erroneous result, particularly in critically ill patients, neonates, and infants who cannot communicate symptoms or self-treat. The defect also affects QC barcode scanning: if a QC scan triggers the same retention behavior, QC results may be attributed to an incorrect identifier or QC tests may fail without the user recognizing the underlying cause. This defect does not affect the analytical accuracy of glucose measurements.

Under certain conditions historical imaging data migrated from a legacy system may become incorrectly associated with a different patient. If this occurs, studies or images may be displayed under the wrong patient record, which could lead to misdiagnosis or a delay in patient care.

Due to software malfunction, patient information system may freeze and become unresponsive.

When a bolus is included in a treatment plan and sent for secondary dose calculation, the software accounts for it but does not display this clearly, which may lead users to incorrectly omit the bolus during treatment and deliver the prescribed dose to the wrong tissue depth.

Due to issue with endoscope adherence and inability to spray powder. Firm will provide an updated Instruction for Use (IFU).
