Medical device recalls

Product did not meet shelf-life testing requirements resulting in a breach of the sterility of the Genesis container holding surgical equipment.

When the user pauses the beam delivery, the dose timer is reset (to zero), and as a result may deliver an unexpected dose to the patient.

Device was shipped without having regulatory approval.

Re-optimization, after adding contours without forced density outside the external structure, may result in inaccurate dose presentation.

Firm has received reports of damaged, worn, or torn O-rings on the Cardiosave Pump Console quick disconnect fitting, which results in helium tank leaks. If the helium supply is depleted, therapy will be interrupted.

There have been reported failures of the high pressure helium regulator, which may cause a helium leak in the Cardiosave Hospital Cart. In instance of helium regulator failure, a Pump Console s internal reservoir of helium will not be replenished when docked into an impacted Hospital Cart. This may result in an insufficient amount of helium within the internal reservoir.

Affected lots have the potential for a broken sled vane, which may cause the reload to misfire leading to non-functional staple line closure, transecting tissue without forming staples, and tissue hang-up. These conditions may be associated to a delay to treatment, unspecified infection, hemorrhage/blood loss/bleeding, failure to anastomose, peritonitis, sepsis, pneumothorax, tissue trauma, or death.

New warnings and precautionary statements on product labelling: Reagent 2 (R2) of BIOPHEN Protein C 5 contains the chemical substance - Cesium Chloride which changed classification and has become hazardous according to the CLP regulation ((EC) No 1272/2008) is suspected of damaging fertility

Product is labeled with an incorrect expiration date.

Select CardioMEMS PA Sensors (Model CM2000) operate outside of the intended frequency range at higher elevations when readings are taken over approximately 2,000 ft. (610 meters) above sea level; operation outside of the intended radiofrequency has the potential to result in inaccurate readings or sensor signal acquisition difficulties.

Radiated Radiofrequency (RF) emissions of the CardioMEMS Patient Electronics Systems (PES) Models CM1000, CM1010 and CM1100 and CardioMEMS Hospital Electronics Systems (HES) Model CM3000 exceed certain emissions limits and have the potential to cause interference with other medical devices, such as implantable neurostimulators, pacemakers, cardiac defibrillators, continuous glucose monitors, or other bio-wearable sensors when in close proximity to an active Hospital or Patient Electronics System (i.e., during readings).

Automated external defibrillators were potentially distributed with the incorrect language configuration, which can lead to a delay in therapy or no therapy.

Under specific circumstances, the U.S. product registration system did not send up enablement requests to U.S. LATITUDE Customer Support during an 8-month interval in 2022. For these patients, the HeartLogic Index and any associated Yellow Alerts are currently not visible in LATITUDE as may have been intended by the healthcare provider..

MiniCap Disconnect Cap with Povidone-Iodine are packaged in foil pouches, which may have been incorrectly sealed, i.e., the pouches may have open or weak seals. This could lead to exposure to air, resulting in insufficient iodine/dry sponge inside the MiniCap, which could lead to the potential for inadequate disinfectant.

Users received sample collection kits that were assigned to another user. Incorrect shipping labels were applied to the collection kits. As a result, a number of users received sample collection kits that were assigned to another user resulting in a mismatch of user identification. The impact to users is that they may return the sample and obtain potential incorrect Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) results and/or the sample may be rejected due to mismatched demographics resulting in delayed testing and/or treatment.

Labeling being updated to assure user is securing the siderail to a locked position to prevent potential patient fall and injury.

Direct amplification Discs , used with COVID-19 and Flu A/B & RSV assays, may leak and cause contamination, cross-contamination, invalid results, and error codes.

An unexpected shutdown of the IABP may occur due to loss of communication between the Executive Processor PCBA and the Video Generator PCBA. This may result in an interruption to therapy which may threaten the hemodynamic stability of the supported patient as the user is left unaware to the status of the Cardiosave IABP.

An unexpected shutdown of the IABP may occur due to a failure of the connection between the Coiled Cord cable and the Cable Assembly backplane to the Coiled Cord cable which provides the communication between the display head and base unit.
