The firm has identified that the Transferrin reagent does not meet the Instructions for Use (IFU) reagent on-board stability claims, which may cause control failures and/or erroneous patient samples results. The Complaint handling unit has received a total of 2 safety cases (CASE-2023-02027212 and CASE-2023-02045278) and 99 quality cases with the failure mode attributed to Transferrin reagent (OSR6152 / lot 2573) associated with reagent blank shifts for the Reagent 2 (R2), imprecision, calibration failures, erratic Quality Control (QC) recoveries, and/or erroneous high/low (serum, plasma, urine) patient results. The issue was confirmed through internal testing by Beckman Coulter on June 30, 2023.

The patient positioning system can perform motions in unexpected directions, creating the potential for crushing of the patient between the patient positioning devices.

For oncology users: If the user performed off-set reconstruction on CT device a shift could be observed on the contouring area of the primary and secondary images sets when using image fusion (on TPS) and incorrect coordinates may be sent to TPS system when using absolute patient marking. This may lead to incorrect radiation therapy planning and possible growth or spread of cancer due to incorrect early treatment regimen. For radiology users: If the user performed off-set reconstruction on CT devices, after multiple acquisitions, the Relate Position could be inaccurate. This could lead to incorrect diagnosis and treatment.

Balloon-to-catheter weld failure that may cause loss of balloon pressure during stent deployment.

Due to the incorrect mounting of the buzzer component, there is no acoustic signal during x ray activation. Otherwise, the system is fully functional, and x ray is applied correctly. By means of the additional visual indicator (exposure LED light) the operator can monitor the x ray release. Also, after a successful x ray exposure, the clinical image is displayed on the monitor.

It was found that the fixation (weld) employed by the supplier of the nut bolt to the slide rail plate was insufficient. The deficient weld allows the nut bolt to break off from the slide rail plate with slight manual force.

There is a potential for unexpected failure of the electrical components within the Carestream Health Inc. generator installed in your DRX-Revolution Mobile X-ray System(s). This can lead to temporary and self contained thermal overload within the generator. Should an event like this occur, the system will become inoperable and loud noise, burnt smell and smoke may be detectable.

Sterilization failures when devices are sterilized per the Reprocessing Manual due to lack of drying time for the endoscope channel.
