Medical device and health technology recalls from FDA. Includes diagnostic equipment, implants, monitors, and therapeutic devices.
Specific lots of reprocessed electrophysiology and ultrasound catheters may contain small residual particulates. If devices with residual particulates on patient-contacting surfaces are used, there is a potential risk of an inflammatory response or systemic infection, and if particulate were to dislodge during use and contact circulating blood and/or the heart, it may produce a granulomatous reaction or thrombus formation, which may lead to cerebral or pulmonary embolism, or deep vein thrombosis.
The potential of the elastic bands included in the kit detaching or fracturing during surgical procedures. As a result, these failures may pose a risk of retained foreign bodies in the surgical cavity and potentially leading to surgical site infections.
Some modular LinkSymphoKnee TiNbN Tibial Components were manufactured with two uncoated security screws, which is incorrect.
Due to a classification error in the inventory management system, specific medical devices were shipped to customers that did not have the requisite license to purchase such devices.
Dental implants were imported under temperature and storage conditions that do not comply with the instructions for use and product labeling so there may be packaging damage, which could compromise product quality and performance.
Units may have been packaged with an incorrect pouch label, which lists the reference number and unique device identifier of the 4F version of the device, rather than the packaged 6F version.
Boston Scientific has identified a higher likelihood of air embolism events when procedures are performed without positive pressure-controlled ventilation. According to published literature and clinical data, in percutaneous procedures requiring transseptal access to the left atrium when conscious or deep sedation is used, patients have an approximately three-times higher risk (U.S. study) of negative left atrium pressure and air ingress. This risk is especially prevalent in patients with pre-existing low left atrial pressure, hypovolemia, and partial upper airway collapse.

VITROS Chemistry Products LAC Slides on VITROS XT 3400 and VITROS XT 7600 Systems are experiencing an increased occurrence of calibration failure related to lots from coating 0130 and above with Condition Code TH4-63J during calibration, causing the delay of lac test results and potentially impact patient management. The issue was identified by QuidelOrtho through an increase in customer complaints compared to the historical baseline with average failure rate of 1% for coating 0130 in 2025 while average of failure rate for other coating was 0.06% in 2025 and average of failure rate for all coatings is 0.03% for 2024.

Low deaeration chamber level at post priming tests may lead to PrisMax System alarm T2309: Air Detected in Prime resulting in multiple additional priming cycles
Unexpected PrisMax System alarm T0830: Blood Leak Detected, when no blood leak is present, or difficulty normalizing the Blood Leak Detector (BLD) leading to PrisMax System alarms T1313: BLD Normalize Failed, T0853: Normalization Failed, or T1205: BLD Self-Test Failure
Thermax System may be unable to detect the presence of a bag on the Thermax Blood Warmer Unit leading to difficulty setting up therapy, or PrisMax System alarm T2284: Thermax Disposable Not Inserted
Due to a weld breakage between the pin and inserter holder of the Inserter Adapter.
Due to a manufacturing issue involving the silicone quad ring where the ring is deformed or otherwise damaged and may cause a foreign body in the fluid pathway.
Potential for the ESG-410 Electrosurgical Generator to display an error message: "E0662 System Error", followed by either automatic single reboots of the device, or continuous reboot 'loops'.
If the radiosurgery system triggers a proximity error message during a long gantry move (greater-than180 degrees), and a subsequent proximity error message occurs after the automatic reduction of speed, a software defect could potentially lead the collimator to collide with patient shoulders or the patient table.
Medline Industries, LP is issuing a recall for specific item(s) and lot(s) of Medline Kits containing Flexicare BritePro Solo Fiber Optic Laryngoscope Handles due to the failure of the light to illuminate as intended.
