MAQUET has identified a potential issue with the ULTIMA OPCAB (part numbers OM-2003S & OM-2001D). Labeling for the 2 blade lots had been incorrectly applied. The standard blades from Lot #25052176 were incorrectly labeled as deep blades, and the 20 deep blades from Lot #25052200 were incorrectly labeled as standard blades.

The recall was initiated because Beckman Coulter has confirmed customer reports of QC shifts, lot-to-lot variation, and an increase in the percent of patient samples recovering >20 IU/mL using the Lots# M012376 and M101865 of IMMAGE RF reagent. The lots identified for the RF reagent might produce false abnormal results.

The recall was initiated because Beckman Coulter has confirmed that the Coulter PrepPlus may experience intermittant reagent level sense failures where the instrument may not produce a warning that a reagent vial is low or out of reagent.

Synthes is initiating a Medical Device Labeling Correction following a detailed review of the current labeling in response to reported complaints.
