Software error causing incorrect data to be displayed on the 24-hour Sensor Glucose Overview Graph, any potential therapy decisions were made based on the incorrect data displayed on the 24-hour sensor glucose overview graph may lead to hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia.

Due to complaints of increased resistance when advancing the dilator within the introducer sheath. This issue could potential result in procedural delays and/or risk of venous intimal injuries if excessive force is applied

The heat function may become damaged over time due to patients pressing on the areas with heat function components. Damage to components can lead to overheating which can lead to smoldering and melting of the vinyl cushion.

Products may contain contamination, which may result in a darker or brown media color.

Calibration Buttons being used in the kitting process were incorrectly labeled as Lot 2323M for lot 2333M. The use of mislabeled calibration Button with Lot #2333 can lead to delayed or erroneous high or erroneous low results.

Potential for device to not meet specifications resulting in incorrect results or delay of referral for patients.

The possibility for this product that is intended for demonstration purposes only to be placed in patients.

Expandable interbody system cage may loose height or collapse (loss of lordosis), which could result in migration, subsidence and/or neurological injury. Therefore, surgical technique and instructions for use will be updated to mitigate risk of loss of lordosis to occur.

Continued reports of positive cultures and infections have identified updates to the reprocessing materials to minimize potential deviations in TJF duodenoscope reprocessing. Olympus is informing users of these changes, reminding users to closely follow the operation and reprocessing instructions, and providing updated materials to users.

Potential that the ligation loop was unable to release or detach as expected during use, causing the loop to become unintentionally fixed around patient anatomy.

The impacted lot may not meet the required tensile strength specification.

Device kits contained an incorrectly sized 4mm x 4cm urinary tract balloon catheter (BURS0404) instead of the correct 8mm x 15cm nephrostomy tract balloon catheter (BPCN0815). All other components in the kits were correctly included and packaged in the kit.

Some of the Vacuette¿ CAT Serum Separator Clot Activator tubes were manufactured without gel separator, which could yield erroneous assay results and require the patient to return to the lab for recollection or repeat testing. This may result in delayed diagnosis, cause a delay in clinical decision-making or treatment and in some rare cases, yield incorrect results from less stable parameters.

The cap on the reaction buffer tube may be missing the black rubber gasket resulting in the potential for leakage and reduced buffer volume.
