Bedside SpO2 Patient Monitoring System alarms not heard/recognized, resulting in: treatment delay, lack of low oxygen saturation response, respiratory failure, arrhythmia. Highlighting operator's manual: 1)For patient Safety don't silence/decrease alarm volume, 2)Sensor off alarm (no perfusion detected) is low priority alarm, 3)Set monitors to Homecare Mode outside of hospital/professional setting
Ventilator Printed Circuit Board Assembly may have two separate capacitors that may fail, which may result in the ventilator either shutting down during use, thus necessitating use of an alternate form of ventilation, or the shutdown alert alarm fails to alarm effectively during shut down, which may result in respiratory failure, hypoventilation, low oxygen saturation, hypoxia, treatment delay.
Tracheostomy tube with cuff reusable inner cannula has a flange that may disconnect from the outer cannula of the device, which could cause respiratory failure, aspiration, unspecified tissue injury, aspiration, respiratory tract infection, bronchospasm, a delay to treatment and/or death.
Battery management system within Laryngoscope devices may deplete below the deign threshold which may result in thermal event followed by risk of explosion.

IFU update to address device's battery handling information.
Any single affected ventilator should only be used for the 10- year labelled service life, but if longer ventilatory support is required using more than one ventilator over time, the use of these devices for more than 14 years of cumulative duration may pose harm to health due to a volatile organic compound (VOC), 2-propanol, 1,3-dichloro released from some components in the ventilator gas pathway
Due to saline conductivity issues, their is a potential that dilation catheters may provide inaccurate esophageal diameter measurements that may lead to various harms.
Packs including 5 laparotomy sponges may contain incorrect product with a blue loop, X-ray detectable feature, and ethylene oxide treatment; however, this incorrect product wasn't steam pre-treated prior to sterilization, and has no RF tag, which if non-sterile, may lead to infection, tissue trauma, and sepsis, and if in the scannable area, would lead a "CLEAR" display.
manufacturing defects to sensor cable connectors may result in error codes or non-functioning channel

Due to software issue, New systems may exhibit an error which may prohibit use of new systems resulting in system being inoperable
Defective video laryngoscopes that did not pass quality tests established for the product, that were designated for destruction, were stolen, and subsequently distributed for sale. Defective device use may result in failed laryngoscopy and/or intubation.
Inadequate internal fixation of the power inlet port to the cuff pressure manager device causes the external power inlet to became dislodged within the device housing after several uses, which prevents the device from being charged, and could lead to treatment delay.
Laryngoscope blades may contain an ineffective application of anti-fog agent which may result in condensation accumulating causing the screen to be blurred or obscured.
Cell Collection Device may be at increased risk of the sponge detaching from the string during removal of the device from the patient, which could lead to device fragments in patient, obstruction, airway obstruction, secondary intervention, secondary intervention (with the primary procedure), supraglottic airway obstruction, and aspiration.
Single ILLUMISITE Platform Console was converted from a 220-240VAC model to a 120VAC configuration using a non-supplied power cord and non-supplied fuses in the field by Medtronic Field Service Engineer.
A manufacturing error, resulted in a less than specified diameter of adult flexible tracheostomy tube connectors, which results in unsecure connections with 15mm caps and other 15mm circuit components and accessories. An unsecure connection could lead to respiratory failure, dyspnea, treatment delay, tissue injury, or bleeding.
Due to potential leaks associate with the Oral/Nasal Tracheal Tube Cuffed inflation system.
The product is labeled with the incorrect expiration date.
