Medical device and health technology recalls from FDA. Includes diagnostic equipment, implants, monitors, and therapeutic devices.
Nonsterile syringe potentially exposing the patient to pathogenic microorganisms and a risk of local infection.
Direct amplification Discs , used with COVID-19 and Flu A/B & RSV assays, may leak and cause contamination, cross-contamination, invalid results, and error codes.
Siemens Healthineers has received customer complaints and confirmed imprecision for Quality Control (QC) and patient samples with Dimension Tacrolimus (TAC) lots GA2286, GA3047 and GA3171. The health consequences of erroneous patient results are major, since in a worst case scenario, a patient s tacrolimus dosing could be altered, resulting in potential organ failure and rejection (due to too low or no tacrolimus being administered) or toxicity (due to too much tacrolimus being administered). Siemens internal investigation of the Dimension TAC assay showed the worst case imprecision with patient samples at the low end of the Analytical Measurement Range (AMR). A patient sample at 2.0 ng/mL (2.6 nmol/L) recovered as 0.0 ng/mL (0.0 nmol/L) (100% negative bias), another patient sample at 2.1 ng/mL (2.7 nmol/L) recovered at 4.3 ng/mL (5.6 nmol/L) (103% positive bias).
After pressing and releasing the Z-Axis Motorized buttons on the Tube Head Display, the Overhead Tube Crane (OTC) could potentially continue the movement unexpectedly to a certain distance which could potentially result in a injury
Product did not meet shelf-life testing requirements resulting in a breach of the sterility of the Genesis container holding surgical equipment.
One (1) Fusion Bioline Vascular graft from lot 25162546, which failed guideline straightness testing, was intermingled with lot 25162549 and distributed to customers. Use of the affected graft may result in reduction of blood flow or unwanted tension causing bleeding and the formation of a pseudo-aneurysm.

Manufactured with misaligned axis resulting in lenses with the incorrect power, users may experience poor visual acuity
An increased incidence of damage to the nut band from a new vendor (Boamax) has led to an increased volume of complaints from consignees regarding wash arm motion failures, system check failures, and/or assay performance leading to a remote probability of delayed results or reporting erroneous patient results. The subject nut bands were found to not meet the firm's specifications for hardness and had the incorrect material grain direction. Affected instruments were manufactured from December 28, 2017 to October 19, 2022 or had their nut bands replaced during the same period.

Triton Canister Software, Insert & Scanning Label may cause the Triton Canister System to output inaccurate blood loss estimates can lead to confusion and could potentially result in either delayed recognition or prolongation of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH), or require more aggressive treatment for PPH.
Church & Dwight First Response Pregnancy Kits was marketed with the Easy Read App without a new 510k. There is also a potential for Easy Read App to be unable to reads the test results (i.e., no results reported on the APP screen) or to misread the analog results shown on the pregnancy test stick and may lead to misinterpretation of false positive or false negative tests by the user.
Affected lots have the potential for a broken sled vane, which may cause the reload to misfire leading to non-functional staple line closure, transecting tissue without forming staples, and tissue hang-up. These conditions may be associated to a delay to treatment, unspecified infection, hemorrhage/blood loss/bleeding, failure to anastomose, peritonitis, sepsis, pneumothorax, tissue trauma, or death.
Due to the incorrect component, that is not cleared to be marketed in the U.S., being included in its elbow prosthesis.
There is the potential for patient desaturation events to occur under certain scenarios when the Life2000 ventilation system is connected with an oxygen concentrator.
