Cardinal Health recently received multiple complaints regarding various performance issues with Cardinal Health Jackson-Pratt Channel Drains including lack of radiopacity in wound drains, dull trocars impacting product performance, lack of flexibility of wound drains, and broken wound tips.
A grainy image is observed when using a SPiN Vision Single-Use Flexible Bronchoscope (models INS-7100 or INS-7130) with the SYS-4000 system due to an incorrect DVI cable supplied may result in prolonged procedure/surgery due to additional time to troubleshoot the device
Due to customer complaints related to the MedBank software which may indicate that a different medication is loaded in a cubie (drawer) pocket than what is physically loaded and listed on the pocket label. As a result of this issue, a patient could receive the wrong medication or wrong dose of medication that could lead to patient harm.
An upward trend of complaints in which the Temperature Monitoring Adapter (TMA), located on the Affinity Fusion Oxygenator, had come loose from the oxygenator either during pre-procedure perfusion set-up or post-procedure when disassembling the perfusion circuit.
Biological indicator (BI) used to promote growth of the G. stearothermophilus and B. atrophaeus spores was inconsistent in promoting growth throughout lot , some BIs within the lot performed as intended while others did not. When used to monitor steam and ethylene oxide sterilization cycles, the potential hazard is that the BI will show no growth indicating that the cycle was effective, even if it may not have been.

pO2 High Recovery in Quality Control When Adjusted for Barometric Pressure
A complaint investigation revealed that an incorrect behavior relating to the rejection of orders capability of the Host Connectivity Agent (HCA) could occur where the order received from the Laboratory Information System (LIS) is created with an Internal ID rather than the External ID sent from the LIS. The erroneous event occurs under rare circumstances where the date in the sample's barcode does not match the order date sent from the LIS, and can lead to the order being mismatched to an another patient's sample ID rather than the subject patient's sample ID. The software bug impacts multiple cobas infinity central lab software (versions 2.5.x , 3.01.x, 3.02.x, and 3.03.x) and occurs when the afflicted software has been configured with specific pre-conditions.

DeRoyal is recalling certain lots of surgical procedure pack products that contain a Medtronic Non-Absorbable Suture. The recall is due to Medtronic determining a manufacturing error in the packaging of the non-absorbable sutures that may cause a gap or wrinkle in the breather seal resulting in a sterile barrier breach.
There is potential for the footrest to detach from the patient table during use.
There is potential for the footrest to detach from the patient table during use. Device intended to visualize anatomical structures by converting an Xray pattern into a visible image. The system has medical applications ranging from gastrointestinal examinations to cranial, skeletal, thoracic and lung exposures as well as examinations of the urogenital tract. The unit may also be used in emergency applications, lymphography, endoscopy, myelography, venography, arthrography, interventional radiology, digital angiography, and digital subtraction angiography (DSA). The system may be used on pediatric, adult, and bariatric patients. These devices are not for mammography examinations.
The firm identified the following three potential issues which may have impacted ADUs installed on distributed Alinity m Systems. 1. Systems which had their ADUs serviced may have an incorrect board value (calibration data file) referenced causing a misconfiguration of the calibration. 2. Inability of Maintenance and Diagnostics 2300 (Amp Detect Optical Calibrations) to recognize error handling and thermal hold errors during the calibration process, potentially leading to a misconfiguration of the calibration. 3. Under specific conditions during the ADU manufacturing process, an incorrect calibration may potentially have been configured.

There are two potential issues with CADD Infusion System Infusion Sets: (1) Lack of Delivery or Underdelivery related to Tubing Occlusion and (2) False "No Disposable Attached (NDA)" Alarms
There is an increased chance that the tests from affected lots may give false negative results. Health risks resulting from a false negative result include delay or lack of supportive treatment and lack of monitoring of infected individuals and their household or other close contacts for symptoms resulting in increased risk of spread of COVID-19 within the community.
Defect in sterile pouch seal, incomplete seal, of lighted Retractors, increases the risk of contamination, which can lead to post-operative infection.
Potential for pilot balloon non-inflation or cuff non-deflation.
Potential for pilot balloon non-inflation or cuff non-deflation.
There is a potential leaking condition within the hub of affected devices, due to an inter-lumen void in the hub component, which may result in unanticipated fluid return during use.
