Medical device recalls

Nimbus II Plus, Infusion Pump Systems, manufactured by InfuTronix, are being removed the from the market due to multiple potential failure modes, including battery failure, upstream occlusion, system errors, drug product leakage, high or low flow rate, or damaged pump housing.

Piston syringes sizes and configurations are out of the range of devices cleared under the firm's 510(k).

Potential contamination of the product with latex adhesive residual.

The reason for the recall is one of the test pads, for the parameter leukocytes, was missing on some of the test strips. The issue was identified by a consumer by way of a Henry Schein Inc. (HSI) customer complaint. This problem can potentially result in the possibility that the parameter leucocytes (a non-specific marker for urinary track infections and an indicator for inflammatory renal processes) is interpreted instrumentally as a false negative. The following HSI item number and lot number were affected: Urispec¿ 11-Way, #102-2285, LOT 65402.

Devices may contain elevated levels of bacterial endotoxin.

The firm identified that the measured patient leakage current in some devices significantly exceeded expected levels.

Philips Ingenia Evolution systems with software R5.7.1 may not provide warning for low ventilation setting which may lead to increase in body temperature or burning sensation

A packaging seal gap could impact the sterility of the product.

Event Catalog information does not save when copied and transferred from one unit to another.

An increase in claims related to leakage of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the proximal end of the catheter. In the event of a leak going undetected during implantation, it could pose an infectious risk to the patient. The cause of the leaks is indicated to be manufacturing error involving perforation of the inner channel of the catheter during stylet insertion.

The guide tip can become damaged and result in the tip detaching.

Humidifier devices, used to deliver high flow respiratory therapy to patients, manufactured before 14 August 2017, have a speaker configuration that may result in distorted, intermittent or inaudible alarm sound levels. In the absence of an audible alarm, if there is an interruption to therapy, a patient may experience oxygen desaturation.

Issue related to Novalung sensor box, which is a component of the Novalung Console (Part Number F30000163). In certain instances, error messages #206 (yellow) and #208 (red) technical failure, flow measurement during use of the Novalung system.

Screw is 16mm long instead of 22mm long.

Automated external defibrillators have a manufacturing issue that could prevent the device from delivering instructional voice prompts to the user during use of the device. Visual instructional icons will still be present, but this issue could potentially lead to no therapy or a delay in therapy.

Free T3 Calibrators used with T3 Reagent Packs may produce positively biased results for patient and quality control samples. The positive bias may cause erroneous patient results or a delay in testing that may impact patient management, clinical assessment, and the results of other thyroid function tests.

There is a potential for cracks on the mount of the front panel of the device.

Laser surgical instruments have no specific evidence of a validated reprocessing method, therefore these instruments lack sterility assurance, so once the instruments have gone through reprocessing after use and then are used again, there is an increased risk of the patient being exposed to infection.

The products in this lot are incorrectly packed with a Stainless-Steel implant instead of a Titanium implant as the packaging and part number indicated.

Products have a lack of sterility assurance.
