Medical device recalls

There is an issue that could cause the Telligence System Gateway II, NGGTWY2 H, to stop communicating to the hallway devices connected to it. When this occurs, the dome lights connected to the Gateway II Ports A and B will start flashing, indicating that they are no longer communicating to the Gateway II. If this occurs, device failures that WOULD otherwise be annunciated WILL NOT be indicated at staff consoles that are configured to display failures.

A software issue may cause the liquid volume detection entries for 2nd and 3rd reagent bottles to be overwritten with the data from the 1st reagent bottle. Tosoh has released software version 2.51 (or later) to fix the problem. This failure is mitigated by the hardware design. The consequence would be a slight delay in testing patient sample or reporting patient result.

The firm identified an issue with the basal calculator identified on the Android version of the Insulia application. The bug could lead from low-impact to high-impact hypoglycemia depending on the circumstances. A new update of Insulia is now available (version 1.6.42), which resolves this issue.

After running the calibration curve, the recovery of the IgM kit control results decrease demonstrating a reduction in accuracy within the same day; control results may be out of range one day after running the assay calibration curve. Samples have been shown to be similarly affected.

There is a possibility that the liquid suction pump on some AIA-2000 analyzers may not perform as intended and cause an insufficient volume of wash solution to be removed during the washing step. Incomplete washing of the sample may result in falsely elevated test results for the sandwich assays and falsely decreased test results for the competitive binding assays. Insufficient washing is detectable through review of the calibration data and QC trending. For example, if incomplete washing occurs, the reported values for the zero- calibration rate will be above the acceptance range. The calibration value may shift and the instrument will not calibrate successfully. If this issue occurs, there may be a delay in testing and reporting patient test results. There have been no user or patient injuries reported related to this issue.

Non-conformance with the DeltaVision OMX SR, the interlocks are not wired in a redundant fashion to make the interlock system single-fault tolerant.

Tosoh Bioscience has become aware of a potential issue with the pickup arm and pickup arm motor on the AIA-900 Analyzer. If the pickup arm or pickup arm motor malfunctions, the analyzer will cease to function and result in an inability to test patient samples. This may cause a delay in testing and reporting patient results. Tosoh has received fifty-one (51) complaints related to this issue with no serious injuries reported.

The products labeling contains inconsistencies. In certain instances, the lidstock, banner card and shipper label state that the Spring Wire Guide (SWG) within is .032 rather than the correct SWG size .025 . For other lots in scope the lidstock correctly states the SWG size .025 however the banner card states the incorrect SWG size .032 .

Electrophysiology catheters were identified to be item # D134903 and distributed. It was subsequently determined that these catheters are item # D134909, which is not approved for reprocessing.

The Invasive Blood Pressure (IBP) numeric values will freeze on the display when any of the following functions are performed: change an IBP Site Label using the Site Label icon or the keyboard, activate or deactivate the mean pressure waveform display option (On/Off) using the Invasive Pressure Options Dialog or the keyboard, activate or deactivate the waveform hide option (On/Off) using the Invasive Pressure Options Dialog, activate or deactivate the pressure waveform filter option (On/Off) using the keyboard, and/or perform a Pullback using the Pullback icon or the keyboard

The firm is issuing this voluntary removal following receipt of reports of parastomal mesh failure identified several years following parastomal hernia repair using the modified Sugarbaker repair technique. In these reports, product failure led to hernia recurrence requiring additional surgical treatment. Symptoms of hernia recurrence may include discomfort, localized pain-free or painful bulging, and possible changes in the overlying skin. Medtronic has received, worldwide, a total of ten reports of mesh failure following use of the product in the last five years. Patients who have received a Parietex" composite parastomal mesh for the treatment of a parastomal hernia should continue to receive ongoing monitoring by their healthcare providers for the recurrence of a parastomal hernia.

There is a potential for the RadPRO Mobile 40kW Digital X-Ray System Model SM-40HF-B-D-C to separate from the Tube Head Mount and potentially fall off the system.
