Hazard: Automated external defibrillators were shipped in their test configuration so there is a potential to have incorrect language, and CPR duration resulting in the device prompting users to perform CPR for 5-seconds, and it could analyze heart rhythm and instruct users to deliver a shock every 5-seconds if a shockable heart rhythm is detected, potentially leading to no therapy or delayed therapy.

Hazard: Due to potential signals of increased false positive Norovirus results when using the gastrointestinal (GI) panel.

Hazard: Due to a trend in false positive Candida tropicalis results on blood culture panel when using certain BD BACTEC vial mediums

Hazard: The firm has become aware of a sudden increase in complaints for three associated lots. Performance issues may lead to impaired embryo development prior to the blastocyst stage.

Hazard: While performing a fluoroscopy examination, there is a potential that the Radio Fluoroscopy (RF) viewer will also display a previous patient's radiography images. If the issue occurs, there will be differences in image content, image format and image size.

Hazard: While cleaning or disinfecting the system, if the process is not followed as described in the manual and excessive liquid is used or sprayed directly on the system, it could cause a short circuit of the fine positioning control button. This would result in the system moving on its own in a very slow speed forward circular motion.

Hazard: Due to manufacturing issue, the product is labeled as 3:1 ratio, but the ridge pattern is a 1.5:1 ratio. The problem may lead to minor tissue damage or additional unplanned graft if deemed necessary.

Hazard: The Emergency Priming Line, a component of the HLS Set, may have a compromised sterile barrier due to nonconformities at the bag seal. This issue may result in inflammation, sepsis, or infection.

Hazard: The negative control was contaminated with one of the positive control pathogens (Norovirus). This would result in users getting a positive call for Norovirus when running the negative control.

Hazard: New warnings are being added to the Instructions for Use for all affected products to reduce the possibility of fibers being drawn into the Impella, which may result in low flow of the device.

Hazard: Issue 1: Mixed Images: The Radio Fluoroscopy (RF) viewer may also display a previous patients radiography (RAD) images when starting the next patient scan while the previous patient image export is still processing. If the issue occurs, there is a potential for incorrect patient data to be displayed in the image. Issue 2: Detector Access point: Security vulnerability specific to the Wireless Portable Detector configuration items in Philips Support Connect (PSC). Due to this vulnerability it is possible, with physical access to the system and knowledge of specific settings, to modify and export data to removable media (example: USB)

Hazard: Single Use Distal Cover MAJ-2315 may unexpectedly detach from the duodenoscope during use result include the risk of mucosal injury, tissue damage, bleeding, perforation, or obstruction due to retained distal cover in the gastrointestinal tract that would require urgent medical intervention for removal, and/or burns from the use an uncovered duodenoscope distal end. Detachment of a distal cover in the oral cavity may result in aspiration, airway obstruction, or respiratory distress and would require immediate medical intervention for removal.

Hazard: Spring arm failure with Captus 4000e Thyroid Uptake Systems, can cause the collimator to fall downward to its lowest point of travel, causing potential injury with a patient or operator

Hazard: Accessory sets contain a syringes not yet qualified for the accessory's intended purpose; due to design changes to the syringe barrels and a polypropylene resin change that resulted in loss of gamma compatibility, for accessory set syringes that were gamma sterilized, which resulted in yellowed syringes.

Hazard: Filling process qualification did not demonstrate adequate process capability. Possible consequences include extended surgery time due to extrudability issues.

Hazard: Mobile x-ray systems moving arm frame welding issue which presents the potential of bodily harm due to fall of the arm.

Hazard: IFU has been updated to include warnings about the risk of the inlet perforating through the myocardial wall of the left ventricle due to operator handling.

Hazard: GE HealthCare has become aware that the bedside panel of Care Plus, Care Plus¿ Model 1000, 2000, 3000 and 4000 Incubator, Lullaby Incubator, Lullaby TR Incubator, and Lullaby XP Incubator can be upright and look closed but not be latched if the red indicator is visible. The portholes also can look closed when not latched when the portholes are obstructed e.g., hood covers. If a patient impacts the bedside panel or porthole that is not latched, the panel can disengage and fall open, no longer protecting the patient from falling.
