The patient labels included in the BMAC system procedure packs, catalog numbers 51416 and 51423, are printed with an incorrect lot number, catalog number, and expiry date; the lot number on the procedure pack box label is correct. The expiration noted was not beyond initiation date of the recall. Since the product is noted as sterile, the clearance for K103340, K052925 and K991430 raises question if product was cleared with a sterility claim. Further post-market follow-up will be required to assess the safety risk of the product.

An undetected shift between the information displayed in the navigation software and the actual patient anatomy

(1) Under certain conditions, if a malfunction alarm occurs while the pump is in the "Paused" state waiting for the distal pressure to decrease, the pump cannot be turned off and delivery cannot be restarted until the battery is discharged or is disconnected; and (2) when the user accesses the Preventive Maintenance Screen in Service/Biomed Mode with a Total Delivery Time >1,500 hours, the user will not be able to interact with the device and the device must be power cycled.

Potential failure of the optical distance sensor due to cable disconnection.

Observed instability of the device.

The Broad Quantification option of the Symbia product software version VB20A may not allow modification of two data input values.

Elute may become colored due to the residual presence of heme group origination from hemoglobin present in whole blood samples as well as dried spot (DBS) samples. This can potentially cause the inhibition of PCR reactions and result in an uninterpretable test result. If using an Internal Control (IC) in the extraction process the IC could potentially be inhibited as well and invalidate test results.

Custom surgical kits contain Aplicare Providone Iodine Prep Pads which were subsequently recalled by Medline Industries for in incorrect expiration date.
