Medical device and health technology recalls from FDA. Includes diagnostic equipment, implants, monitors, and therapeutic devices.
Ethylene Oxide/Ethylene Chlorohydrin (EO/ECH) residuals for the cast padding component exceeded the residual limits for permanent exposure devices as indicated by ANSI/AAMI/ISO 10993-7/(R)2012.

The smaller chamber of the two chamber bag is bursting when nurses are attempting to mix the two chambers prior to use. The electrolyte fluid in the small chamber of the NxStage PureFlow B Solution has a pH of less than 2.0. The solution can be harmful if it comes in contact with the eyes or skin, and/or as a result of a slip or fall injury due to spilled fluid.
The firm received reports that some blood collection tubes have experienced issues with clotting and poor separation due to missing additive. The failure of the device would likely require sample recollection which could result in a delay of treatment.
Kit assigned an extended expiration date of 24-Jul-2025 during release. The correct expiration date for Lot 2953 is 24-Jul-2024. If used past its true expiration and the customer does not have their Assay Data Disk (ADD) updated, the system will allow them to use the expired calibrator which may bias the results. However, at this time the calibrator is within its use date and will function appropriately.
Devices were labelled with the incorrect guidewire labelling.
Device is not in full compliance to Type CF requirements of IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-2-34 standards. Therefore, there is a potential risk of electric shock. Health consequences may include electrical shock, burns, and cardiac arrhythmia.
Possibility of the robotic arm to drop more than 10cm from its original position after pressing the emergency stop button due to failure of the integrated safety mechanism.
Multiple socket-outlet power strips that shipped with automated dispensing cabinet devices have not been certified to International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) electrical standards when used as a system with automated dispensing cabinet devices, so use may expose user to leakage currents that could cause varying degrees of harm from a minor shock to permanent impairment.
Part number 040032, Lot number, 248607 was incorrectly labeled as part number 045032

Firm received complaints regarding skin irritation when using the gloves, disintegration of the gloves when used with certain cleaning solutions, and mislabeled products (e.g., outer box indicating one size, but inner box indicating another size).
One Test Kit lot (TK1-10114) shows a positive bias in the platelet count due to bacterial contamination which can result in elevated counts with a bias of 7.5 k/ul. This results in the test kit lot performing outside of the device specification.
The reason for recall is the meters may show an incorrect measurement unit (mmol/L rather than mg/dL) and may result in the wrong unit of measure. Which may subsequently cause an error in interpreting a result as approximately 18 times lower that the actual blood glucose. Potential immediate health consequences of the glucose meter providing a reading in the wrong units of measurement (UOM) may result in inappropriate rescue therapy for presumed hypoglycemia including urgent and repeat administration of carbohydrates. This in turn could lead to frequent episodes of hyperglycemia which is unrecognized and undertreated.Long range consequences of continued use of the affected meters could include mismanagement of the patient s diabetes for longer periods of time potentially resulting in a major health event (in general persistent and/or severe hyperglycemia) that may lead them to seek medical attention, and depending on the duration of hyperglycemia, could contribute to the development of microvascular (i.e., retinopathy, neuropathy, nephropathy) and/or macrovascular (i.e., myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke) complications of diabetes and could lead to fetal damage (abnormal fetal growth and altered organ development and maturation, fetal hypoxemia, spontaneous abortion, and congenital anomalies) in pregnant women. This issue was identified by three initial consumer complaints, with reports that the meters were presenting the incorrect unit of measure.
Issue on a specific packaging machine resulted in a hole in the primary packaging, product sterility compromised and could result in infection .
The terminal block used to secure the power supply cable for the gradient coil of the MRI system was not secured as designed, which could cause cable disconnection, which could lead to arcing, followed by melting of the cable, ignition, smoke, and fire.
Issue on a specific packaging machine resulted in a hole in the primary packaging, product sterility compromised and could result in infection .
An issue with safe usage of the device was identified whereby toxic smoke and internal fire developed resulting from a problem associated with the sealing of the paraffin tank.
