Medical device recalls

After the Large Display returns from power save mode, it may not show an image, and stay black without showing an error message although X-ray is still possible. The problem does not occur during an ongoing procedure. If the problem occurs, the system cannot be operated normally. It may be necessary to cancel or restart the treatment or transfer the patient to an alternate or another system.

When assembling an HME or Filter on this breathing circuit the tubing may be pushed up and inadvertently cover or block the exhalation port. This could potentially pose a serious health risk to the patient.

The fixation of the upper and lower tilt actuator, of the Omnidiagnost system might break off and the table will start to rotate from 0 to + 90 /- 90 degree with high speed. This rotating movement can not be stopped by the user. This could potentially lead to the patient falling off the table. There is a risk of injury for the patient, user, or bystander.

Improper installation of hand piece may result in a weakening of the internal hose connection which can cause loss of pressure to the device or a hose burst.

The dose calculation accuracy may in some situations be less than expected. The user must be aware in order to avoid incorrect dose calculations during treatment planning.

Two lots of tibial bearings were commingled. There is a possibility that a 14mm tibial bearing is packaged in a box labeled as 12 mm tibial bearing and vice versa. This may lead to extension of surgery to find another implant.

There is a supplier quality issue with the terminal blocks which may cause the terminal block to overheat, char and/or burn.

The incorrect plastic was used to manufacture the handles of these shears, which causes the handles to melt if sterilized.

When the ABX Pentra Micro ALBUMIN 2 CP (ALBT2) Reagent 2 is sampled and dispensed immediately after an ABX Pentra Creatinine 120 CP (CREA3) Reagent 2 dispense, the final result of the microalbumin may be elevated more than 10%. This increase may affect serum, plasma and urine sample types.

There is a potential for a different set to be mixed within the lot, where the incorrect set does not contain an air eliminating filter.

IBA is conducting a voluntary recall to address a PTS (Proton Therapy System) software issue and to reduce the risk related to this issue.

If the C-arm is manually moved in the longitudinal direction to a fully extended position, the system's safety stop mechanism may be activated. As a result, the C-arm stops the movement and can drop up to 20 mm (0.8 ). Under certain circumstances, the cover of the detector or collimator can touch and possibly injure the patient due to the C-arm drop. This could lead to a situation in which it is necessary to stop the clinical treatment or continue the treatment on an alternative system.

Panasonic has issued a Mandatory Product Safety Notice, indicating a possibility of battery ignition (fire) in CF-C2 "Toughbook" laptops. Since Konica Minolta uses this laptop in some of its product configurations, it notified its customers to utilize a BIOS Utility for the laptops to minimize the risk of an incident while Panasonic develops a final solution.

The recalling firm has confirmed that Free Kappa light chains in Liquid Assayed Specific Protein Controls increase over the shelf life of the product. This may lead to a delay in reporting Free Kappa Light Chains results, which are used as an aid in diagnosis of monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance and for Multiple Myeloma through review of the ratio with free lambda chains.

Issuance of validated, new reprocessing procedures. The new cleaning procedure requires additional recess flushing and forceps elevator raising/lowering steps during precleaning, manual cleaning and manual disinfection.

Issuance of validated, new reprocessing procedures. This corrective action is being undertaken as a result of ongoing manufacturer and FDA activities relating to reported patient infections associated with duodenoscopes. The new cleaning procedure requires additional recess flushing and forceps elevator raising/lowering steps during precleaning, manual cleaning and manual disinfection.
