Medical device and health technology recalls from FDA. Includes diagnostic equipment, implants, monitors, and therapeutic devices.
Technopath Manufacturing Ltd. has identified an issue with the glass vial commodity used to fill the Multichem S Plus Level 1, Multichem S Plus Level 2, Multichem S Plus Level 3, Multichem IA Plus and Multichem P Controls. Some customers have experienced broken vials when receiving or thawing Technopath Multichem IA Plus and Multichem S Plus Controls. Breakages have been observed upon delivery, while thawing or while opening the vial. The breakages can result in the bottom of the vial breaking off, breakage in the neck thread area or cracking on the sides of the vial. This may expose the user to biohazardous material if cut and may cause a delay in patient results.
Full screen error message may occur on patient monitors with affected hardware version, either during or after laryngoscopes are unplugged from monitors, informing users a 60-100 second shutdown/restart are required. Error prevents: viewing graphical patient vital signs, sounding of pulse audio tone, visualization of patient airway used during intubation; may lead to treatment delay or hypoxia.
Peripheral coil system detachable has a potential of unsealed pouch packaging.
Various medical devices potentially exposed to rodent and rodent activity. In addition, medical devices may have been subjected to temperatures in excess of storage requirements on product labeling.
The stopper block on the LFS bracket could be broken or missing. Without this stopper block, the flat screen attached to the LFS flat screen system can rotate beyond the original angle limit and it could cause excessive force to be given to the spring shaft of the LFS bracket. Due to the excessive force given to the spring shaft, the spring shaft could break and shear off.

Reverse shoulder prosthesis package that should contain 5mmx30 screws could contain incorrect 3.5mmx30 screws. Use of incorrect screws could result in surgical delay and inadequate fixation.
The unit box is labeled with an incorrect expiration date (the manufacturing date of 3/17/2021) but the individual packaging contains the correct expiration date (3/17/2026).
19-gauge x 1" inch filter needles showed appearances of a small fraction of non-preferred characteristics. A causal relationship has not been established between the structural variations in this 19-gauge filter needle and the rare events of retinal vasculitis
Knee insert and acetabular system parts were swapped within inner pack prior to the product being sealed within the tray, which could result in surgeons not having the correct product for the surgery due to different anatomies (Hip vs Knee).
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.
Handbook Revision (Rev13) a dilution step is indicated as an Action when having the Flag SAMPLE_INT_CTRL_FAIL. A dilution of CRC tissue could lead to a false negative result. To remove ambiguity, an alteration must be made to the S the sample result with this flag should be interpreted as invalid

Some catheter kits labeled as 23 cm implant length incorrectly included catheters of 28 cm implant length; the actual catheter implant length is identifiable based upon the correct labeling on the catheter body.
After dispensing a timed dose medication for a patient, the automated dispensing cabinet software may continue to show the already dispensed medication dose is still available for dispense, which could lead to duplicate medication administration.
Ophthalmic microsurgical vision systems have a new Printed Circuit Board (PCB) design that could lead to higher voltage to a PCB component, that could cause component failure and loss of pressure control for the use of cutters, scissors, and forceps, which could lead to an increased risk of microbial infection, tissue damage and progressive visual impairment.
