Medical device recalls

Complaint of high amount of ceruloplasmin patient results below the reference range (< 20 mg/dL [0.2 g/L]. PROT1 CAL and corresponding PROT1 CON L, M, and H are inaccurately assigned for ceruloplasmin (CER).

Brainlab has internally detected that under specific conditions ExacTrac Vero may not correctly account for this ring angle correction during the calculation of the corresponding couch shift. This may result in the treatment couch not moving to the exact planned position resulting in a deviation between the planned and the treatment target position. This deviation may not be clearly visible to the user if no verification image of the patient position is acquired after this couch shift has been performed.

BD has recently confirmed quality control failures, related to a manufacturing issue, for the inducible macrolide-linosamide-streptogramin B (iMLSb) test contained on lot 7031818 of Phoenix panels. The iMLSb resistance D-test screen for Staphylococcus species is used to identify phenotypic drug resistance to clindamycin and erythromycin. As the product should not be used when quality control (QC) fails, it is unlikely that there would be any impact on patient results, however, if a customer does not perform QC testing and uses the panel, there is a potential to incorrectly treat a Staphylococcus infection with clindamycin based on the iMLSb test result. This issue can be detected 100% of the time when used per package insert instructions with iMLSb positive strain S. aureus BAA-977.

Potential breach of sterility of the packaging.

Resource Optimization & Innovation, LLC (ROi) received a recall notice from BD for an incorrect label on 3ml ChloraPrep With Tint, Product Code (REF) 260415NS, NDC 054365-400-11, Lot 7096622. The label mix is at the unit level where a "ChloraPrep One-Step" unit label was incorrectly used on a certain percentage of the impacted lot instead of the correct "ChloraPrep With Tint" label. The recall notification was issued by BD on September 15, 2017 and was received by ROi on September 18, 2017. Because the 3ml ChloraPrep With Tint product is contained within select ROi Regard Custom Surgical Packs, ROi is conducting a recall of the affected ROi Regard Custom Surgical Packs.

Siemens is releasing a non-medical software application LTA Incomplete Archive Check Tool V1.0. It is intended to eliminate an issue that occurs during syngo.plaza de-archiving from Dicom LTA. It has been defined that the number of de-archived images is less than the count of the archived images for the series. The issues were discovered through Siemens Global Complaint Handling System.

Communication errors between ROSANNA BRAIN software, MARIO software and the St¿ubli CS8C controller.

The Peristaltic Head tubing placed on the ARCHITECT c4000, c8000, and c16000 has the possibility to leak due to a manufacturing issue associated with the tubing connector.

Possible open seal on top portion of the package. Could cause breach of sterility.

Software corrections reactivating the cooperative endoscopy mode.

Potential failure of a force feedback sensor that may result in continued movement of an operating arm (rather than an immediate stop as intended).
