The firm has become aware of a potential problem with their venous and arterial magnetic catheters may be at risk of experiencing a magnetic deficiency, which may result in the magnets failing to attract to one another. This may result in procedural delay in obtaining or creating a functional fistula and need for additional contrast to perform the necessary fluoroscopy. This can pose an incremental risk of harm to a diabetic patient's kidney function.

The firm has identified that parts from the kit, lot: TSL007202, have the potential to contain the incorrect contents of the 8mm HTR Sterile Hammer Toe Reaming Kit. The kit should contain (2) reamers total, (1) Concave Reamer and (1) Convex Reamer; there is the potential that kits from the identified lot may have (2) of the same reamer type as opposed to one (1) of each type.
- 2020-04-08FDA-DeviceSmith & Nephew, Inc.Class IINAVIO Soft Tissue Protector, included in instrument kits. The NAVIO Tissue Protector is a reusable instrument designed to, when used as instructed, provide the required bone pin spacing for the Navio bone clamps and potentially reduce the amount of patient tissue affected when placing the bone pins.

- 2020-04-08FDA-DevicePhysio-Control, Inc.Class IILifePAK 500 Automated External Defibrillator, model numbers: 3005400-XXX, U3005400-XXX, 3011790-XXX/, U3011790-XXX - Product Usage: The LIFEPAK 500 AED is a semi-automatic defibrillator that uses a patented Shock Advisory System. This software algorithm analyzes the patient s electrocardiographic (ECG) rhythm and indicates whether it detects a shockable rhythm. The LIFEPAK 500 AED requires operator interaction to defibrillate the patient.
Automated External Defibrillators may not detect a patient connection due to mechanical wear-through of the contact plating on the therapy connector. The wear-through could result in the device not recognizing a patient is connected which could result in a delay in treatment
- 2020-04-08FDA-DeviceMerits Holdings Co. dba Merits Health Products, Inc.Class IIMerits E604 Pilot Navigator Stairlift - Product Usage: To transport patients up stairs.
Pinion gear may disengage from track allowing lift to slip or jolt.
- 2020-04-08FDA-DeviceRa Medical Systems, Inc.Class IIPharos Excimer Laser, Model: EX-308 - Product Usage: The Pharos EX-308 Excimer Laser System is designed to treat the skin disorders psoriasis, vitiligo, atopic dermatitis, and leukoderma using phototherapy. The excimer laser system produces collimated 308 nm radiation, within the invisible region of the electromagnetic spectrum. The UV radiation falls within the range of ultraviolet B (UVB), which is used to treat photo-responsive skin disorders.
At doses of less than 100 mJ, in custom and auto repeat modes, a software error in the excimer laser phototherapy system causes the device to fail to cease firing as long as the foot pedal or handpiece switch is depressed. This malfunction can cause overtreatment, which could result in strong erythema, and possibly cause blisters.
