In certain situations, following a system reboot, one or more modules may have become unreachable via the remote connectivity interface. When this occurred, there was potential for delays in plate retrieval from the incubator while connectivity was restored. This issue was intermittent and did not affect test results, performance of the assay, or sample integrity.

A potential for depressed results for Atellica CH A1c_E when processing Atellica CH RCRP on the same analyzer. Customers processing A1c_E and RCRP on separate analyzers are not impacted by the recall. The frequency and magnitude of the negative bias and imprecision increase over time and are not consistent with the assay Instructions For Use (IFU). When this issue is present, Quality Control (QC) results demonstrate a negative trend and increased imprecision. The clinical impact of a negative (A1c_E) bias may lead to a delay in diagnosis for diabetes or lead to less-than-optimal treatment for existing diabetes.

Due to a radiotherapy medical system software defect, when performing angular roll corrections followed by a repeat localization, the roll corrections applied in the initial localization scan are not carried through to treatment delivery leading to the treatment plan dose being delivered to the incorrect location, potentially a displacement of 5mm or higher, with a 10% to 20% underdose.

Urgent Medical Device Correction for the Volara system single-patient use circuit due to the potential that patients or caregivers may be unaware of a possible decrease in oxygen levels (oxygen desaturation), or potential lung tissue injury from overexpansion (barotrauma) when the Volara device is used in the home care environment. This correction is providing the home caregiver specific instructions for use.

Potential that the "Purge System Blocked" alarm display on the Automated Impella Controller (AIC) could be delayed when using first generation Impella 5.5 (0550-0008*) pumps.

Increased risk of purge leaks with Generation 1 purge cassettes.

The surgical technique for the Embrace Shoulder Instruments - Drill Tower has mixed-up article numbers in the overview of the instruments. However, the individual surgical steps described in the surgical technique are correct.

Elevated endotoxin levels identified in affected lots. Issue may elicit strong inflammatory response if used, including local tissue irritation, delayed wound healing, or systemic effects such as fever and hypotension. In severe cases, septic shock may result.

Due to product labeling not indicating which Transport Layer Security (TLS) version that must be enabled on hospital network to ensure secure Wi-Fi communication with Point-of-Care Units

Olympus identified that the Cutting Forceps contain components for which the supplier did not adequately validate the welding process. Defective welds can result in the Cutting Forceps' jaw breaking during clinical use.
