Medical Device Recalls: FDA Device Safety Alerts And Recall Notices

The accessory cart weldment does not conform to weld dimensional specifications which may result in separation of the monitor arm mounting structure from the cart.

Unreliable wireless roaming behavior of Smart-hopping 1.0 wireless clients during transport when connecting to Smart-hopping 2.0 infrastructure, resulting in loss of connectivity to the central monitoring system (PIC iX).

A software defect in which existing users who had previously configured and enabled the long-acting dose reminder feature in version 1.2.0 or earlier experienced failure of the long-acting dose reminder after updating their app to version 1.2.1. The long-acting dose reminder is an optional feature that, when enabled, triggers a notification at the scheduled time to remind users to take their long-acting insulin dose. The issue was caused by a type cast exception during database migration that occurs upon app update to version 1.2.1 causing a silent failure that prevented the creation of new alerts. Failure to receive the long-acting dose reminder may result in missed or delayed insulin doses, potentially leading to hyperglycemia. Conversely, if users are uncertain whether they took their dose due to the missing reminder, inadvertent duplicate dosing may occur, potentially resulting in hypoglycemia.

Geobacillus stearothermophilus spore population in affected products may fall below minimum shelf life specification. When used to monitor steam sterilization cycles, the potential hazard is that the biological indicator will show no growth, indicating that the steam cycle was effective, even if the steam cycle did not achieve the intended spore reduction

Due to a cybersecurity issue associate with a NULL Pointer Dereferences vulnerabiity. If exploited would potentially cause disruption of the centralized monitoring of multiple beds and the visualization of alarms.

Some MiniMed Flex insulin pumps were released with missing (i.e., devices with no result or abort test results are presumed to have failed) or failed verification test results in one or more of 9 functional tests. The unverified/failed pumps released to users potentially have one or more of the following issues: inoperable pump at setup, lack of protection for moisture exposure, slow battery charging, disconnection issues with other system components (i.e., continuous glucose monitoring sensor or MiniMed mobile app), reduced ability to detect occlusion events, compromised audio for pump alarms/alerts, and/or inaccurate insulin delivery.

A beta (early-release) version of the iOS application, version 2.13 (TestFlight) had a software issue preventing successful pairing of the t:slim application with Abbott FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus (FSL3P) continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) sensors, resulting in the insulin pump being unable to establish a near-field communication (NFC) connection with the CGM and requiring FSL3P users to use their t:slim insulin pumps in manual mode. FSL3P users are unable to access their CGM's glucose values from within the t:slim app and cannot use their pumps in automated control (closed-loop) mode, which could lead to users experiencing hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia.

Due to incorrect switching of Channel 1 and 2 on the module and flag labels on the tissue oximetry cables.

Complaint trend where "Checkline Error" alarm presents at device setup, rendering the CO2 monitoring function inoperable. May result in procedure delay.

Device may not resume patient monitoring for at least 3 minutes following system restart. Issue can lead to potential delay in recognition of clinically significant events.

Capsule may fail to attach to the esophagus or detach from the delivery device. Risks include patient aspiration/inhalation, perforation of esophagus, obstruction of the airway, hemorrhage/blood loss/bleeding, laceration of the esophagus, a delay in diagnosis, and foreign bodies remaining in the patient.

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.
