- 2016-10-19FDA-DeviceContour Fabricators IncClass IIZero-Gravity Radiation Protection System Radiology Personnel protective shield.
Two customer complaints suggest that excessive rotation of the cable in one direction (clockwise or counter-clockwise) without allowing the cable to unwind to its normal condition may cause the cable to break suddenly and the body shield to fall. While no injuries or deaths occurred in either failure, the Zero-GravityTM body shield weighs 55 pounds, and in the event of a cable failure, the body shield will fall immediately. A fall of this nature places the user, associated staff and the patient at risk for a potential injury.

The infant performance test did not meet the test specification for the Infant Head Uniformity test with High Resolution. As a result, when the user performs High Resolution head scans, the reconstructed images may exhibit degraded image quality manifested as non-uniformity of the image, CT number shift greater than 5 Hounsfield units, and reduction in gray/white matter differentiation. The issue is most sever in the High Resolution mode, and the factory reference pediatric scan protocols are set to High Resolution default. Adults head scans have a factory reference protocol that defaults to standard resolution which doesn't experience the issue.

A reagent stability issue (still under investigation) causes less separation in the calibration curve, which affects results across the entire range. For controls, maximum bias of +/- 35% for low levels, +/- 33% for mid-range levels, and +/- 47% for high levels is observed. Bias in patient samples ranges from -15.7% to +5.2% with an average bias of -5.6% when comparing the QMS everolimus assay to an everolimus LC-MS reference method. Patient samples across the measuring range sub-therapeutic, therapeutic, and supra-therapeutic could be affected.

contamination with Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC), a bacteria that can cause serious illness in humans. E.coli infection symptoms vary by individual, but often include severe stomach cramps, diarrhea (often bloody), and vomiting. If there is fever, it usually is not very high (less than 101¿F/less than 38.5¿C). Most people get better within 57 days. Some infections are very mild, but others are severe or even life-threatening. Around 510% of those diagnosed with Shiga-toxin producing E.coli infections develop a potentially life-threatening complication known as hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). Signs that a person is developing HUS include decreased frequency of urination, feeling very tired, and losing pink color in cheeks and inside the lower eyelids. Persons with HUS should be hospitalized because their kidneys may stop working and they may develop other serious problems. Most persons with HUS recover within a few weeks, but some suffer permanent damage or die.

Gilbert Foods Inc. t/a Hearn-Kirkwood is initiating a voluntary recall of Evies Cheddar Potato Macaroni Salad. The co-packer of the product, Marys Harvest Fresh Foods, notified us that the peas that were used in Evies Cheddar Potato Macaroni Salad are a part of National Frozen Foods Corporations voluntary recall.

Listeria monocytogenes, is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women. There have been no reported illnesses or complaints attributed to the recalled items to date.Product is shipped directly to the consumer through Amazon Fresh.
