Medical device recalls

It was reported that scanners running certain software versions provide confusing information in the "Impressions" section of the Calcium Score report. The generated report provides multiple analyses of the amount of plaque detected, as if they all apply to the patient at the same time. This misleading guidance can be potentially misleading to the user, and may lead to mistreatment of the patient.

Software Correction: Software errors that may result in incorrect 4D CT images, PET images with SUV quantification error, or disruption of interventional CT procedures; and Software errors that may result in partial set of images, inability to generate CT or PET images, incorrect scan parameters, or scanning the incorrect portion of the body.

Limits of Detection (LoD) for protein, nitrite, leukocytes, and erythrocytes on the Urisys 1100 urine analyzer with Chemstrip 5 OB, Chemstrip 7, Chemstrip 10 MD, and Chemstrip 10 UA test strips were higher than what is listed in the test strip method sheets may lead to false negative results for the affected parameters

In rare cases of high clinical workload, the steel cables inside the lifting column of the overhead tube, which are designed to take the load, may rapture without triggering the safety lock. This could lead to overloading the safety rope, which is not designed for continuous load and ongoing movement under load. This may lead to mechanical fatigue and cause the arm to drop down unexpectedly during movement in vertical direction and during patient positioning.

Increased risk of false positive results for Proteus when the product is used with a specific blood culture bottles.

The Li-ion Battery Housing for the AR-400 DrillSaw Sports 400 System may not provide a complete seal around the battery, allowing for potential fluid ingress.

Robust optimization for plans using beam set + background dose is not supported in RayStation 4.5, RayStation 4.7, RayStation 5, RayStation 6 and RayStation 7.

The press fit connection of the Angular Sleeve and pin of the U-Joint and Click Lock did not meet specification. A dimensional discrepancy of the bore hole of the Angular Sleeve may cause a reduced press fit of the pin. This can result in partial of full displacement or loss of the pin and, accordingly, stability of the strut of the frame cannot be ensured.

Defect with the calibration button for lot 1808M. Level 1 and Level 2 Quality Control (QC) values will generate results of HIGH (>65 ¿g/dL). Results for patient testing with this lot will be displayed as HIGH.

The product is labeled with an incorrect expiration date.

Expiration date on the label is incorrect. Correct expiration date was November 30, 2020 and label on distributed product listed the expiration date as November 30, 2021.

The product was shipped after its expiry date due to a system error. The product lidstock identifies the correct expiration date however the accompanying purchase order shipping documentation identifies an incorrect expiration date. Per standard clinical practice the lidstock would most likely be checked prior to use and the product would not be used leading to a minor delay while a replacement is located. In the unlikely event that the product lidstock is not checked prior to use, there is potential for use of expired product, and product functionality/or sterility cannot be guaranteed.

The power supply unit for the printer used with the device can potentially overheat or cause a fire hazard because it could contain an improperly-mixed phosphorus compound.

There is a potential for interruption and/or inability to start therapy to the patient prior to or during use of Cardiosave IABP for users who are at altitudes above 3200 Ft.
