Medical device and health technology recalls from FDA. Includes diagnostic equipment, implants, monitors, and therapeutic devices.
Software error may result in sporadic problems causing scanning workflow interruptions, unexpected user notifications and image artifacts. Sporadic software errors may also occur during interventional workflows. Results in potential patient issues: Possible rescan , Unexpected X-Ray dose and additional contrast media, Delay in diagnosis, scan abort,and patient rescan
For the automated multi-image-acquisition procedure Ortho x-ray collimation is set in a preparative stage for the entire examination area prior to the exam. During acquisition of each individual x-ray image, the x-ray collimator is automatically positioned in a way that the subsequent series of acquisition covers the defined field of view needed for each step. However, during the acquisition the collimation area displayed to the operator on the User Interface does not correctly represent the collimation area specified by the system. It indicates to the user an open collimator instead, e.g., the information displayed on the User Interface shows wider area of collimation than values preset prior to the examination. However, the collimation of the x-ray is performed correctly and always matches the examination area predefined by the user.
Transducers (component of ultrasound system) may exceed recommended thermal index limits
There is a potential for misquantitation high results of negative samples.
Software issue resulting in temporary loss of central monitoring functionality.
During the de-installation of an MR system magnet, if all rigging and hardware that attach to the magnet for transportation are not properly installed and secured, the magnet may fall, leading to potential injury.
The product was distributed without FDA authorization or clearance for marketing and distribution in the US.
There is a potential for misquantitation high results for negative samples.
Firm has observed increased rate of customer complaints related to separation of the balloon or catheter hub from the delivery catheter during delivery system withdrawal causing procedural delay and possible administration of additional anesthesia and contrast which may impact patients' renal function. Potential harms include occlusion or embolism and associated response, with specific outcomes such as amputation, embolism, loss of organ function, organ infarction, or tissue infarction. ***Updated June 2023*** Additional surgical stress caused by prolonged interventional surgery has the potential to lead to myocardial infarction or death.
Falsely Elevated Results Observed with Plasma Specimens, could lead a clinician to misinterpret patient results
Placing excessive tissue in the instrument jaws of the devices prior to sealing and transection can result in an insufficient seal.

Updated Instructions for Use (IFU) for EXALT Model D Single-Use Duodenoscope highlight the known risk of perforation and provide best clinical practices related to insertion, advancement, and removal of this device.
Falsely Elevated Results Observed with Plasma Specimens, could lead a clinician to misinterpret patient results
There is potential for the capsule bond to break during the procedure.
A design change made to a hemostasis valve to improve manufacturability caused an internal gap between the rotator and the Y-body, where the guidewire can get caught, resulting in difficulty advancing the guidewire through the device. This defect may result in a delay of procedure.
The StO2 values may be inaccurately low when using either the FORE-SIGHT ELITE Tissue Oximeter Module or the FORE-SIGHT ELITE Absolute Tissue Oximeter Monitor with the Fore-Sight Elite large sensor in certain somatic locations (arms and legs). While the StO2 absolute values are impacted, the directional trend remains accurate, but may have a larger magnitude change. Low StO2 values may lead to unintended or inappropriate treatment
