There is a potential risk for unintentional interaction of the Impella motor housing with the distal stent of a transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) resulting in destruction of the impeller blades. This has resulted in low flow from the damaged Impella system. Systemic embolization of the fractured impeller material is a possibility.

Single use battery and electrode cartridge may be rendered inoperable due to depleted battery cells which could prevent the defibrillator from analyzing patient condition or delivering therapy correctly.

Specific diluent lot numbers showed that conductivity, osmolality, and pH were out of manufacturing specifications.

Affected product lots were mislabeled as "STERILE PVP SLN" when they should have been titled "NON-STERILE PVP SOLUTION, STERILE PACKAGING".

Base leg assembly may bend and result in difficulty engaging/disengaging from fastener, difficulty loading/unloading from ambulance, difficulty raising or lowering the cot, cot tip, or erratic or unintended motion.

Potential to cause biased results in the upper end of the reportable range for the quantitative measurement of Transferrin, C3, C4, IgA, IgG and IgM. Within the reference interval, the highest bias observed in selected sample testing investigation was +35.3% for IgM; -4.3% for IgG; +12.3% for IgA; -6.9% for C3; -6.6% for C4; and -17.8% for transferrin. Falsely elevated or reduced results could be reported depending on the analyte and/or sample concentration.

There was one complaint that the sidearm of the device detached during explant of a pump. When the sidearms are subjected to heat, humidity and articulation, a silicone oil contaminant that was unintentionally introduced during manufacturing at the joint between the sidearm and the hub may cause the joint to detach.

There is the potential for out of specification device geometries. widths, lengths, heights, and lordotic angles to accommodate patient anatomy. These devices can be inserted between two lumbar or lumbosacral vertebral bodies to give support and correction during lumbar interbody fusion surgeries. Implants have a central cavity that allows them to be packed with autogenous bone graft and/or allograft bone graft comprised of cancellous and/or Corticocancellous bone, and/or demineralized allograft bone with bone marrow aspirate.
