Acute circulatory support system pump may not fit into the motor and reports received of the pump not being securely locked into the motor using the screw-in locking feature. Failure to properly lock the pump into motor my not cause pump not inserted alarm, and could lead to particulate, increased heat, anxiety, inconvenience, delay in hemodynamic/ECMO support, stroke, embolism, death.

Stents may be impacted by a Nitinol anomaly which causes a reduced stent diameter when deployed and corresponding reduced radial force. Issue may result in stent migration.

Access Port System tray may develop cracks potentially resulting in a sterility breach.

Potential for microbial contamination.

ICU Medical received one lot of defective primary speakers from our supplier that may fail to produce an audible sound. If the primary speaker in your Plum Duo Infusion Pump fails, the pump may not produce audible alarms, alerts, or provide audible feedback for touchscreen inputs.

Fungal contamination of affected lot with Parengyodontium album.

Due to issues with the system's stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) treatment cannot be guaranteed for all couch angles and system setups. n certain cases, the system may indicate the patient as correctly positioned at the isocenter, even when the isocenter is positioned outside of the indicated tolerance.

Six (6) identified software issues which may result in the following: system keeps restarting, AMC triple drive, C-Partition of Suite PC running out of free space, system remains in continuous restart mode after the start-up, misalignment of Market Tool Overlay, and longitudinal positional error.

Medline kits containing Stryker's Strykeflow 2 Suction Irrigators due to a change in design in 2024, irrigation solution is able to travel to the handpiece and battery pack during use of the Strykeflow 2 Suction Irrigator. This design change has caused some devices to leak and/or emit vaporized saline (which can resemble smoke) during use.

Potential for defect for Asserachrom HPIA lot 271288, which can affect every well in the impacted strip and produce negative results.

increase of complaints regarding the breakage of the ampoules within their device systems. An extensive investigation revealed that multiple factors have an impact on the ampoule breakage. An unfortunate combination of these influence factors can lead to unbreakable ampoules. If none or not all ampoules break, the product cannot be used on the patient since no or no appropriate cement dough is formed.

Nine (9) identified software issues which may result in the following: loss of X-ray after Pedal Tap, loss of X-ray after Phase Fault, missing live X-ray on the FlexVision monitor, system continues to restart, AMD triple drive, C-Partition of Suite PC running out of free space, system remains in continuous restart mode after start-up, misalignment of Marker Tool Overlay, longitudinal position error.

Using oncology information system that manages workflow may result in overtreatment if:Plan delivered with Particle Therapy IHE-RO TDW-II interface,With one field per fraction or last field partial treatment,Partial treatment occurs followed by treatment field interruptions with manually recorded partial treatment,Then treatment unit doesn't check meterset value so partial treatment delivered twice

Philips has identified that in a limited number of impacted systems the drip tray beneath the cooling unit was not installed under previous field corrections, or evidence of the implementation was not adequately documented. If it is not installed, there is a potential for coolant liquid to contact electrical components. This could lead to electrical short-circuits, which may trigger system fuses and result in system shutdown.
