Vermont recalls

Medtronic Neurosurgery's Ventriculostomy Kit (REF: 46154) may contain endotoxin levels higher than safe limits for devices that contact cerebrospinal fluid during brain surgery. Endotoxin exposure can trigger acute inflammation in the brain and nervous system.

The 3mensio Workstation software may report heart and vessel measurements that are 0.8% to 34% larger than the actual size when specific conditions are met: the software is used with access only to 3D Echo or Mitral 3D Echo features, and the analysis involves Philips 3D echo datasets that contain Color Doppler data. This could lead to incorrect clinical measurements used in patient care decisions.

Certain Halyard EYE PACK convenience kits (Model LVEY27) contain Betadine solution at an incorrect concentration. The kits were distributed nationwide, primarily in California. No injuries have been reported.

SeaSpine Orthopedics has recalled certain Polyaxial Head spinal implants (REF 41-3010) due to a manufacturing error that may cause the polyaxial head to detach from the screw during surgery after insertion. This could require additional surgical intervention. The recall affects 796 units distributed worldwide, including nationwide US distribution and locations in Chile and Australia.

Olympus has identified a potential fault in the HDMI and DisplayPort connectors on certain OEV321UH 4K UHD LCD Monitors. This fault can result in image loss or display abnormalities. The recall affects 10 units with specific serial numbers distributed in Ohio, California, New Jersey, Florida, and Japan.

The roller assembly on the Ferno-Washington Power F2 Powered Fastening System may wear unevenly and deform, causing the rail mechanism to jam. If this happens, the stretcher cannot move along the rail—either with the powered system or manually—potentially delaying patient transport to a hospital.

ICU Medical's Hotline Fluid Warming Set (model L-70), a single-use device used to warm blood and IV fluids before delivery to patients, may leak due to inadequate solvent application at the tubing-to-connector bond in certain production lots. This defect could affect proper fluid delivery during patient care.

Paragon 28 received two complaints about breaches in the sterile barrier packaging of specific lots of the Phantom Hindfoot TTC/TC Ball Tipped Guide Rod (0.30 mm, 800 mm). The packaging breach could potentially allow contamination of the surgical device before use. No injuries have been reported.

Boston Scientific identified that certain FARADRIVE Steerable Sheath devices may develop damage to the hemostatic valve if the dilator is not inserted correctly during preparation. Valve damage can allow air to enter the device, which may lead to air embolism—a serious condition where air bubbles reach the bloodstream and heart.

Boston Scientific identified that certain lots of the FARADRIVE Steerable Sheath (CLEAR) may have a hemostatic valve that can be damaged during device preparation if the dilator is not inserted correctly. Valve damage can allow air to enter, potentially causing an air embolism and patient harm.

Boston Scientific has identified that certain lots of the FARADRIVE steerable sheath may develop damage to the hemostatic valve during preparation if the dilator is not inserted correctly. This valve damage can allow air to enter the device, which may lead to air embolism (air in the bloodstream) and patient harm.

Boston Scientific identified that improper dilator insertion during device setup can damage the hemostatic valve in the FARADRIVE Steerable Sheath. Valve damage may allow air to enter the device, potentially causing air embolism and patient harm. The risk occurs in a subset of affected units when the dilator is not inserted straight through the center of the valve.

Boston Scientific identified specific FARASTAR Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) generators with a configuration that cannot work safely with the FARAPOINT PFA catheter. Six units with specific serial numbers were distributed across Europe and need to be replaced.
