Medical Device Recalls: FDA Device Safety Alerts And Recall Notices

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.

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.

Potential Elevated Laser Output A disconnected cable or a poorly crimped cable under mechanical bending stress can cause loss of electrical contact. At one connection on the board, the failure can drive the laser output to approximately 1,600 mW. Potential Unintended Laser Firing A disconnected, or poorly crimped cable can falsely signal a fire command during measurement cycles. At a secondary location on the board, this fault can lead to unexpected laser activation during operation. Safety logic prevents firing when the system is idle.

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.

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

Complaints received that Vanta A71200 CP App does not function as intended during use. There is a potential for prolonged or postponed surgical procedure.

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.

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.

Using oncology information system that manages workflow may result in overtreatment if:Plan delivered with Particle Therapy IHE-RO TDW-II interface,With one field per fraction or last field partial treatment,Partial treatment occurs followed by treatment field interruptions with manually recorded partial treatment,Then treatment unit doesn't check meterset value so partial treatment delivered twice
