Vortex Surgical Inc. is recalling certain lots of the Rumex Disposable Diamond Dusted ILM Elevator (catalog 12-7523) because the sterile packaging may have small voids in the seal. A compromised seal could allow bacteria or other contaminants to reach the surgical instrument, potentially leading to infection if used.

Vortex Surgical I2 Injection Kits (model VS0500) in certain lots may have small voids or gaps in the seal of their sterile Tyvek pouches. This damage can allow bacteria to contaminate the sterile contents, potentially causing infection if the kit is used.

Vortex Surgical Inc. is recalling Tecfen Retractable Membrane Polisher units (lot 2411013) because the Tyvek sterile pouches may have seal voids that compromise the sterile barrier. This could allow bacterial contamination and increase the risk of infection if the device is used.

Vortex Surgical has recalled certain batches of its 25GA I.D.D. Internal Delivery Device (model VS0250.25) because the Tyvek sterile pouches may have small voids or gaps in their seals. A compromised seal can allow bacteria or other contamination to enter the package, potentially leading to infection if the device is used.

Vortex Surgical Inc. is recalling certain 25GA Subretinal Injection Cannula (model VS0220.25, Lot 2410043) because the sterile Tyvek pouches may have small voids or gaps in the seal. If a pouch is compromised, the cannula inside is no longer sterile and could become contaminated with bacteria, risking infection during eye surgery.

Vortex Surgical Inc. is recalling specific lots of disposable forceps and cannula instruments used in eye surgery because the Tyvek pouches protecting them may have seal voids. A compromised sterile barrier can allow bacterial contamination, potentially leading to infection during or after surgery.

Vortex Surgical has recalled certain Oertli laser probes used in eye surgery because the sterile packaging (Tyvek pouches) may have small voids or gaps in the seal. A compromised seal could allow bacteria to contaminate the sterile device, potentially leading to infection during surgery.

A specific lot of Tornier surgical screws (catalog DWJ318, lot AZ4824290) is labeled as 5.0mm×18mm but actually contains 5.0mm×14mm screws. If the wrong size is used without detection during surgery, it could increase the risk of mechanical failure and the need for revision surgery.

Biomerieux VITEK 2 Gram-negative Susceptibility Cards used to test bacterial resistance to certain antibiotics may produce incorrect results or fail quality control checks. The affected cards test bacteria such as E. coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa against five antibiotic types. Inaccurate results could lead to inappropriate treatment decisions.

A software error in the Beckman Coulter CellMek SPS Sample Preparation System (model C44603, software version 2.3.90.0) causes samples to be dispensed incorrectly, potentially damaging the instrument and losing 60–100 microliters of sample fluid. This could lead to inaccurate test results and incorrect patient care decisions.

Encore Medical discovered that some packages of EMPOWR Acetabular System hip implant liners contained the wrong device inside—for example, a box labeled as one size contained a different size. This packaging error could force surgeons to delay surgery or perform additional procedures to swap out the correct implant.

Encore Medical discovered that some packages of knee tibial inserts and acetabular (hip socket) system components contain the wrong device inside. This packaging error could delay surgery or require unexpected revision surgery if the mismatch is not caught beforehand.
