Medical device recalls

Facility Critical Temperature Excursions on 08-JAN 2024 in Walk-In refrigerator due to mechanical failures, causing temperatures to fall below the validated range of 35.6 - 46.4 Degrees Fahrenheit (2 - 8 Degrees Celsius) for up to 60 minutes which could increase the probability of an incorrect test result or a delayed test result.

May have increased water path restriction within the heat exchanger, leading to degraded heat exchange performance during use. The reduction of water flow and reduced heat exchange performance may be experienced immediately upon priming or may worsen over the duration of use. The potential harm as stated in the IFU includes hypothermia due to inadequate heat transfer

Natus has become aware that its third-party supplier Parker Laboratories Inc. is conducting a voluntary recall related to their Tensive Conductive Adhesive Gel, Ref. 22-60 Lot Number A0623009. They have received five complaints. These customers reported that the gel is too thick, is discolored (darker than usual), and in one instance, patients reported irritation after procedures using the gel.

The reason for the recall is that the Siemens DCA HbA1c Reagent Kit was confirmed to display a positive bias without alerting the user. The potential impact of the defect is that erroneous test results could be reported and potentially lead to incorrect patient management of glucose control. A positive bias may be observed with eleven HbA1c affected lots. Positive bias was observed when the performance of these five HbA1c lots was compared to NGSP pooled patient target-value assigned samples and the maximum bias observed was 19%.

Four lots of Access Total T4 reagent lots demonstrated imprecision outside of the 10% specification which may result in erroneous or delayed results.

When a paraPAC plus ventilator is switched to the operating mode of VENTILATE, the ventilator may intermittently provide continuous positive gas flow instead of the intended cycling like a human breath. This non-cycling and continuous positive gas flow when in the cycling mode, is a malfunction, not allowing the ventilator to properly function as designed.

Teleflex is initiating this voluntary recall for the above-mentioned products due to reports received indicating a potentially defective component. The complaints received relate to resistance of the guidewire handle/chamber during use. The possible immediate health consequences of the component issue are arterial vasospasm and vessel injury arising from multiple arterial punctures with repeated attempts.

Due to two complaints, has come to our attention that additional guidance is required on the correct interpretation of the carton label Size and Type columns to avoid misinterpretation during surgery.

Product failed sterility testing.

Pack and pouch label is missing the manufacturing and expiration date.

The needle cannula of a retractable needle may detach from the needle holder in the patient.

Due to capacitor manufacturing issue, their is a potential that Flat Panel Device may have abnormal display or no function.

Baxter Healthcare Corporation is issuing an Urgent Medical Device Recall for the Clearlink Non-DEHP solution set listed below due to potential leaks originating from the drip chamber.

Due to a manufacturing issue, device under process validation phase were inadvertently mixed into the main manufacturing process.

Three lots of the Boot Assembly, Traction Device are being recalled due to due to a customer report of an incorrectly oriented locking pin which caused the boot to detach from the traction system. If an impacted device is used during surgery, the boot may detach from the traction system, potentially leading to patient harm and a delay in surgery.

Wrong product coloring. The paddle clips should be blank, but they are colored blue.
