Catheter center lumen was found to have an occlusion in the tip of the catheter; the source of the occlusion an excessive MDX, a silicone-based lubricant which coats the catheter tip. An occluded, partially or fully, and/or uncured or excessive MDX may dislodge from the catheter lead to full catheter obstruction resulting in delay to treatment and partial obstruction resulting in reduced flow, or particulate dislodgement that may result in delay to treatment, hemolysis, embolism/embolus or thrombosis/thrombus

During installation of the SmokeDetector Interlock, a connecting cable, between the SmokeDetector Interlock and the host PC, may not have been properly installed. This connection is used for service diagnostics and does not impact the functionality of the system and/or the SmokeDetector Interlock system.

39-inche-wide inflatable air transfer mattress packages contain 34-Inch-wide mattresses, so there may be a decreased surface area available to distribute the patient's weight across, which may increase the effort exerted by staff for a lateral patient transfer, and there may be increased friction and shearing forces when the patient is moved resulting in skin tear injury.

Potential failure of a bearing adhesive joint that can occur due to an assembly issue of the X/Y stage of the handpiece. If a broken glue bond were to occur, it could cause an overlap of cores, potentially leading to prolonged healing and irregularities in patient skin texture post-treatment, and/or scarring

The C-arm, used to set the position and angle of the x-ray exposure field, may not function due to the tableside console PWB, which needs replacement. There may be a delay in the procedure, but procedures can continue using the operators console, the switches on the back of the column, switches on the side of the flat panel detector, and the emergency stop will continue to function normally.

The prep solution included in the Total Hip Kit expires prior to the expiration date of the Kit.

Lot of InterStim Self-Adhesive Ground Pad is being recalled due to the product being labeled with the incorrect expiration date.

There is an improperly performed weld between the cone of the sheath lock and tube of the obturator; mechanical load capacity is impaired, and fracture of the welded joint may occur. Contamination can occur in this capillary gap, which is not covered by the reprocessing validations performed.

Incorrect Laser Marking - Solera Awl Tip Tap

Carryover from the Direct LDL-cholesterol assay on the Rx instruments may result in a negative bias, up to -11%, in quality control and patient samples, in urea assays results if the urea assay is run immediately after the Direct LDL-cholesterol assay. This may lead to a delay in reporting results or in falsely decreased urea test results.

Due to a hardware issue in the cable connectors of the system generator, a thermal overload in the cable connections may occur when performing excessive fluoroscopy/acquisitions, a burning smell may be detectable coming from the generator cabinet and the system may lose the imaging functionality of the corresponding plane and result in a situation where it is necessary to cancel clinical treatment or to continue treatment on an alternative system
