Software errors that can result in incorrect surgical instrument positioning during spinal surgery.

Certain pumps have potentially been released from service with defective grease applied to the cam and motor gears. Due to its low viscosity, the defective grease may lead to the device having insufficient lubrication on the cam, which could lead to premature wear of the mechanism assembly, resulting in over-infusion or a free-flow situation.

Plum Solo and Duo Infusion pumps include a feature, that when selected, automatically flushes the downstream line after a piggyback therapy. The programmed flush volume is delivered from the primary line container at the piggyback therapy rate after the piggyback therapy is complete. In certain cases, as described below, the clinician may receive an Upper Hard Limit (UHL) or Lower Hard Limit (LHL) Violation message when programming a piggyback flush, which prevents the flush from being programmed.

Philips has identified two (2) software issues affecting device systems that may result in loss of imaging (X-ray) functionality and/or loss of motorized movement, and/or incorrect image content and/or loss of data. Issue 1 - System remains in continuous restart mode after the start-up. Issue 2 - Longitudinal Position Error Applicable only to systems with Poly-G3 frontal stand.

There is a potential intermittent issue on certain Omni Legend systems that can result in a streaking artifact in the PET clinical scan images. This streaking artifact is most easily identified in transaxial slices on the acquisition console (both corrected and non-corrected for attenuation).

Needle free access device intended as accessory to vascular access used in hemodialysis or accessory to intravascular administration sets has a silicone seal which may bulge at the top, separate from the body, tear; may result in fluid leaks, occluded fluid flow, inability to inject/withdraw blood product, delayed/interrupted therapy, exposure to biological contaminants, air infused into the body

Potential for the invalidation for calculated radiation dose does not work as intended for certain Regions of Interest (ROIs). This issue occurs for some ROI(s) which have no contours and either have a material override defined, or are of type Bolus, Fixation, or Support. In these cases, adding geometry to the ROI, subsequently modifying geometry, or removing the material override does not invalidate dose as intended.

Medline Industries has identified a potential hazard involving the hand control pendant and associated wires. In rare and atypical scenarios such as operating the bed above its specified weight limit, encountering an obstruction to bed movement, or experiencing jammed components/motor the hand pendant and pendant cords may overheat and, in rare instances, pose a risk of fire. Medline Industries, LP has received a total of (58) complaints associated with reports of pendant sparking, burning, melting, smoking or fire.
