Tosoh Bioscience has become aware of a potential issue with the axis base of the turntable rotation drive motor on the AIA-900 Analyzer. If the tension of the timing belt between the turntable rotation pulley and drive motor is not adjusted correctly, it is possible to increase the lateral load on the motor axis resulting in the inclination and damage of the motor axis. Since January 12, 2017, Tosoh has been inspecting the tension of the timing belt during scheduled preventative maintenance visit and correcting the analyzers where this issue has been observed. If the drive motor fails, the AIA-900 analyzer will cease to function and will be unavailable for use. If this issue occurs, there may be a delay in testing and reporting patient test results. Tosoh has received five (5) complaints related to this issue with no serious injuries reported.

It is possible that the packaging of the product can be damaged by the prongs on the tube set.

Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics has confirmed that Dimension Vista Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDI) may exhibit an erroneously elevated result when the preceding assay in the reaction cuvette is Lactic Acid (LA). The magnitude of the elevation may be variable. Both quality control and patient samples may be impacted. Incomplete removal of residual lactate dehydrogenase, a component of the LA reagent, has been identified as the cause of the potentially elevated result. A falsely elevated result for lactate dehydrogenase may lead to additional investigations to determine the etiology of tissue damage. Results would be correlated with clinical history and presentation in addition to other diagnostic laboratory testing.

Through investigation, it was determined that H12LP Trocars in scope of a previous H12LP recall were distributed to facilities within the distribution chain following the recall execution activities initially performed by distributor.

This recall has been initiated due to a software defect found in the Guide System software when used with NICO BrainPath ports under certain circumstances. When one trajectory is set with a blue port and another trajectory is set with a gold port, the software defect is triggered when the user switches between these trajectories during a surgical procedure.

There is a potential for blood leakage at the blood inlet connector when using the reducing screw adapter 1/4 x 3/16 that may result in clinically relevant loss of prime before patient connection or blood loss during patient connection.

BD Vacutainer Urine Collection Cups may contribute to a slight elevation of Red Blood Cell (RBC) counts when used with the Sysmex UF Series Analyzers. BD recommends following Good Clinical Practice (GCP) by using microscopy to confirm an elevated RBC Count in a Urine sample as per CLSI GP16-3A. 29(4) and CAP Checklist on Urinalysis. Product will continue to ship to not impact critical patient care.

Lack of sterility assurance: leaking containers which could lead to exposure to infectious agents.

In vitro diagnostic devices, used greater than 6 months after date of manufacture, may have increased concentration times of greater than the specification of 3 hours and up to 24 hours, which may lead to delays in carrying out the subsequent analysis tests.

A safety problem with installation and maintenance could lead to the breakage of the two steel cables that support the equipment to its roof anchor. Due to this, the equipment may fall and cause harm to the patient, user, or third parties.

This recall is due to a mandated order from the FDA for stock recovery and return of the imported item.
