Kit assigned an extended expiration date of 24-Jul-2025 during release. The correct expiration date for Lot 2953 is 24-Jul-2024. If used past its true expiration and the customer does not have their Assay Data Disk (ADD) updated, the system will allow them to use the expired calibrator which may bias the results. However, at this time the calibrator is within its use date and will function appropriately.

One confirmed incident has been received that EFSRN4PR, lot number MP1982170, Size 4 Evolution MP Non-Porous Femoral Right was opened during surgery and contained part number EFSRN3PL, lot number MP1982097, Size 3 Evolution MP Non-Porous Femoral Left in the packaging.

Incorrect transponder data was written on the RFID tags triggers the error message E03, Tube Set lnvalid, may result in a delay of surgery

A potential issue with ARTIS icono systems equipped with a small detector and a corresponding collimator (model # 10843101) was identified. In very rare situations, the first x-ray release following patient registration may be performed with incorrect copper prefiltration. If the described issue occurs, the applied radiation dose rate may be higher than intended by the user.

The reason for the recall is the pneumatic tubing used in the analytical pick-and-place (PnP) assembly cable may fully or partially disconnect from the flex cable assembly fittings during normal operation. The DxI 9000 Access Immunoassay Analyzer may generate a System Event log message that indicates PnP errors. Any cancelled tests will have an associated SYS flag. The analyzer may enter the Red-system status because of this issue. The analyzer also may not eject RVs, where unbound conjugate could potentially splash up on the sidewall of the RV, not being properly washed away, resulting in an artificially higher signal (RLU). The analyzer may not detect this splashing and continue with normal operation, which can cause false low or high erroneous results. Consequently, the analyzer may cancel in-progress tests. These errors could potentially cause delay reporting patient test results and patient treatments. The degree of the potential health hazard is dependent on the analytes that are potentially delayed, especially those analytes that would be used in the acute setting when treatment decisions are immediate. In this particular recall the highest risk analyte is troponin. Health consequences could include permanent impairment or possibly death if medical treatment decisions are delayed due to a delay in obtaining patient results. The issue was identified by Beckman Coulter Inc. manufacturing staff at their location in Brea California on February 29, 2024, during in-process acceptance inspection activities.

The AcuMatch L-Series 22mm Inner Diameter Bipolar Hip Liner lots were packaged without the specified ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH) layer. Between 2004 and August 2021, our packaging process utilized two different types of packaging materials: 1) Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE), Nylon, and EVOH, or 2) LDPE and Nylon without EVOH.

HORIBA custom configured fluorescence instrument has a laser safety defect. This custom configuration of the modular Instrument removed the primary light source and the excitation monochromator. A plastic cap was installed to plug the optical port, where a more durable beam stop should have been used. The defect may allow the class 4 laser beam to burn (or transmit) through the plastic cap to exit the protective enclosure.
