- 2020-05-06FDA-DevicePhilips North America, LLCClass IIPhilips Azurion 7 M20 -XperGuide Software hosted in Interventional Workspot 1.5 when used with the Azurion R2.0 system Interventional fluoroscopic x-ray system System code: 722079
When a user acquires XperCT scan on an Azurion 2.0 system, enters the XperGuide guidance step and moves the L-arm away from the initial scan position before starting the live guidance, a warning message directs the user to move the L-arm stand back to the initial XperCT scan position. Although the software generates this message, it does not prevent the use of live guidance if the L-arm stand is not repositioned. Using live guidance with a mispositioned L-arm can result in the display of an incorrect overlay and needle path.
- 2020-05-06FDA-DeviceUromedica Inc.Class IIProACT Implantation Instrument Set, is a reusable, steam sterilizable surgical instrument set consisting of a U-Channel Sheath through which the Pro ACT balloon implant is introduced.
Potential issue with the manufacture and inspection of U-channel sheaths in Implantation Instruments Sets. Affected U-channel sheaths may be more likely to cause damage to ProACT implant devices when passes through the sheaths.
- 2020-05-06FDA-DeviceStryker Instruments Div. of Stryker CorporationClass IINeptune E-SEP 165mm Blade Electrode, Catalog Number 0703-165-001 - Product Usage: The Neptune E-SEP is an Integrated Smoke Evacuation Pencil (pencil) designed for general electrosurgical applications including cutting and coagulation, and for removing smoke generated by electrosurgery when used in conjunction with an effective smoke evacuation system.

- 2020-05-06FDA-DevicePhilips North America, LLCClass IIPhilips TraumaDiagnost- a Stationary X-Ray System (Bucky System) Model: 720013 - Product Usage: general radiography.
If the shaft breaks due to material fatigue, the trauma arm can fall down and may result in injury.
- 2020-05-06FDA-DeviceObalon Therapeutics IncClass IIObalon Balloon System with Model 4300 Touch Dispenser Touchscreen; Software version 02.00.00.0076 - Product Usage: The System is intended to be used as an adjunct to a moderate intensity diet and behavior modification program. All balloons must be removed 6 months after the first balloon is placed. The Obalon Balloons are administered using the Navigation System.
During initial set-up and/or replacement of the dispenser batteries, the touch dispenser touchscreen can inadvertently lose calibration. This issue can also occur if the touchscreen is pressed when the device is powered on in preparation for a balloon administration. As a result, the touchscreen can become unresponsive and balloon inflation cannot be initiated.
- 2020-05-06FDA-DeviceBoston Scientific CorporationClass IIiLab Polaris Multi-Modality Guidance System; iLab Ultrasound Imaging System
Certain iLab Polaris Systems which were upgraded with a previous 2.10 software version (disk batch 629774) contained a bug in which only the True Color Secondary Capture (SC) format will archive Diastolic Hyperemia-Free Ratio data as intended. If either Multi-Frame UltraSound (US) or SC Image Storage formats are used, the DFR data will not be archived and the user will not be notified of this unexpected behavior.
- 2020-05-06FDA-DeviceViewray, Inc.Class IIViewRay System: Model No. 10000 and 20000 for radiation treatment. PN11440 MRIdian System Treatment Planning and Delivery System (TPDS) software
Registering dose and structures in the treatment delivery workflow could result in an alignment discrepancy between the imported previously delivered dose and the displayed patient anatomy and structures. The MRIdian TPDS software shows this misalignment to the user in the predicted dose-volume histogram (DVH). The misalignment impact may not be obvious to the user. During plan re-optimization the previously delivered dose would be incorrectly accounted for by the software. This may result in unexpectedly higher or lower dose than the intended dose calculated for the subsequent treatment plan. When this occurs in the treatment planning workflow, the registration fails to align the dose with the image and the user is unable to proceed.
- 2020-05-06FDA-DeviceStryker Sustainability SolutionsClass IIZimmer Tourniquet Cuff 30" (Blue), PLC Dual Port, Single Bladder, Item Number: 60-7070-105, UDI: 00885825013868, Reprocessed Tourniquet Cuff - Product Usage: Reprocessed tourniquet cuffs are indicated for use in patients who require surgery of the extremities with an expected duration of less than 90 minutes when temporary exsanguination of a limb is desired.

- 2020-05-06FDA-DeviceBio-Rad LabsClass IIAutoimmune EIA Anti-Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA Test; Material Number 425-2260; Lot number 18200A - Product Usage: The assay is an aid in the diagnosis of celiac disease (gluten-sensitive enteropathy) and should be used in conjunction with other serological tests and clinical findings.
An elevated lot-to-lot bias was observed for Autoimmune EIA Anti-Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA when compared to a previous lot of product. The observed elevated bias between these two lots is largely due to samples with higher levels of antibodies. With the cut-off for the assay being 15 U/mL, the clinical classifications for most samples would remain unchanged.
- 2020-05-06FDA-DeviceBeckman Coulter Inc.Class IISYNCHRON Systems Barbiturates Reagent (BARB 1 X 250); Catalog No. 475012 - Product Usage: BARB reagent, in conjunction with UniCel DxC 600/800 System(s) and SYNCHRON Systems Drugs of Abuse Testing (DAT) Urine Calibrators, is intended for the qualitative determination of barbiturates in human urine at a cutoff value of 200 ng/mL The BARB assay provides a rapid screening procedure for determining the presence of barbiturates (BARB) and its metabolites in urine.
The firm has identified that cross-reactivity testing may not meet the claims indicated in the Barbiturates Reagent Chemistry Information Sheet (CIS). The presence of certain compounds in urine may result in false positive or false negative results.
- 2020-05-06FDA-DeviceBoston Scientific CorporationClass IIMoXy Laser Fiber, Material Number 0010-2400 - Product Usage: The fiber can be used for the surgical incision/excision, vaporization, ablation, hemostasis and coagulation of soft tissue.

- 2020-05-06FDA-DeviceSiemens Healthcare Diagnostics, Inc.Class IIAtellica CH 930 Analyzer, Siemens Material Number 11067000 with software version v1.21.0 SP1 or lower
Editing an assay Test Definition and switching to another assay s Test Definition screen without saving the changes using the save button on the screen, may corrupt the settings of the assay s test definition, and Auto-Rerun or Auto-Dilution results may generate a result of Zero (0) for quantitative assays or Negative for qualitative assays if a well of the reagent pack is not calibrated.
- 2020-05-06FDA-DeviceMerit Medical Systems, Inc.Class IIPreludeSYNC DISTAL Radial Compression Devices, SDRB-REG-LT, SDRB-REG-RT
During the sterilization of radial compression devices, some of the inflatable balloons may break or burst, which may result in air leakage and the inability to maintain pressure/compression. This may result in a lack of hemostasis resulting in bleeding or a delay in treatment; the defect is likely to be visually identified by the clinician before use or identified during inflation of the balloon.
- 2020-05-06FDA-DeviceBecton Dickinson & CompanyClass IICareFusion Safe-T-Centesis Catheter Drainage Tray, Sterile, For Single Use Only, Rx only, Catalog Number PIG1280T, UDI Number 01)10885403108402(17) 210930(10)0001304986
