Medical device recalls

Medtronic is stopping the distribution and sale of the HVAD System due to a growing body of observational clinical comparisons that shows a higher frequency of neurological adverse events and mortality associated with the system when compared to other commercially available left ventricular assist devices, as well as complaints that the internal pump may delay or fail to restart.

Software issue: The defect creates a mismatch between linked drug identifiers (IDs) in the Dose IQ user interface (UI) and the binary drug library (BDL) loaded onto the Spectrum IQ pump.

System errors were noted following changes the customers implemented to the configuration of their network and server systems. Gateway Server System performance anomalies resulted in excessive Spectrum IQ pump connectivity errors.

Tip of the screwdriver does not have the correct configuration / profile therefore the screwdriver does not properly fit the opposing screw head and cannot pick up the screws, may result in injury

There is a potential for >10% under-recovery on Activated Alanine Aminotransferase (A-ALT) samples greater than 1,200 U/L. In addition there is a potential for a >10% shift in patient results with samples containing bilirubin concentrations greater that 31 mg/dL. This could lead to incorrect patient results

Baxter Healthcare Corporation has identified that the AMIA Sharesource User Guide that is used with the AMIA Automated PD System cyclers incorrectly describes the function of the UF (Ultrafiltration) Limit setting as the ending criteria of the cyclers Extra Last Drain Mode. In some locations in the guide, it states that the UF volume achieved must exceed the programmed UF Limit before the cycler will end the Extra Last Drain, allowing the patient to end therapy or proceed to their last fill.
