Medical device recalls

GE HealthCare has become aware that in certain Optima XR200/220/240amx systems that have had a column replacement performed, some bolts used in the Column Safety mechanism can be missing. If these bolts are missing and a failure of the internal counterpoise cable occurs, the Column Safety mechanism will not work properly causing the arm with X-ray tube and collimator to drop downward on the column track.

Telemetry receivers with affected software versions may experience unsolicited system shut down and restart (Offline displayed), lasting approximately 1 to 1.5 minutes, which will cause temporary loss of monitoring. If a clinical event occurred during this period, staff may not detect until the system restarts and necessary clinical intervention could be delayed.

If a clinical event occurred during this period, staff may not detect until the system restarts; necessary clinical intervention could be delayed.

Some units in a single production lot were programmed incorrectly which will result in the VivAer Stylus being incorrectly recognized as RhinAer Stylus when connected to the Aerin Console.

Bolts on the vacuum pump filter housing and the flange plate were not properly tightened, impacting the function of the Neptune rovers. Systems with loose bolts may fail to provide sufficient suction force or loss of suction during a procedure.

There is a potential safety risk caused by physical disassociation of the back section from the bed frame of Skytron model series 3600, 6500, 6600 and 6700 operating room beds when used with the EnVisio Navigation System.

Three lots of the FastPacks kitted into the FastPack SHBG Complete Kits were labeled with the incorrect expiration date. The following is a listing of affected lots: Lot Number: 2408018-1, 2409015-1, and 2409015-2. The likelihood of patient harm is expected to be low as routine Quality Control should detect kits that are impacted by signal deterioration due to age.

The Smaxel Fractional CO2 Laser does not include a Certification label, and adequate instructions for safe operation of the device.

Beckman Coulter has identified that some Access PTH reagent packs from lot 339071 may be over- or under-filled in well 0. The dispensed material in well 0 could be above or below specification, risking sealing issues, contamination, instrument errors, delays, or inaccurate results with a negative bias and increase in imprecision. The issue was confirmed on 10 April 2024 by Beckman Coulter through an internal non-conformance (NC-INT-66585). The well 0 scale on the filling line began malfunctioning on the fill immediately before PTH. The malfunction was not noticed until the majority of PTH was filled.

The VACUETTE SAFELINK Holder with male luer lock may leak blood due to the protective rubber sleeve bunching up and not retracting when using the device.

Potential for internal blood leaks due to cracked polyurethane

Oxygen concentrator may melt or catch on fire during use.

Potential pneumatic valve failure that may cause the LVP to stop an active infusion and/or could prevent the pump from being used.

Potential for two issues: 1. Bent or detached heater wire; 2. Silicone peeling or detaching from the Jaws of the Harvesting Tool

Potential for package seal to be out of specification and the sterile barrier cannot be guaranteed for the life of the product.

Potential for package seal to be out of specification and the sterile barrier cannot be guaranteed for the life of the product.

Potential for package seal to be out of specification and the sterile barrier cannot be guaranteed for the life of the product.

Due to an increase of complaints for bracket bond failures and skin irritation or blistering.

Incomplete or partial pouch seals, which may result in a breach in the sterility.

Custom convenience kits are being recall because the contain non-sterile Codman Surgical Patties & Surgical Strips, which have the potential for endotoxin contamination.
