Medical device and health technology recalls from FDA. Includes diagnostic equipment, implants, monitors, and therapeutic devices.
For certain MR systems, a scan can be resumed following a Power Monitor trip when the "6-minute average SAR" is above the limit indicated on the "SAR Display". The user interface may incorrectly enable a scan to proceed earlier than intended. If resumed by the operator, such a scan can result in potential excessive tissue heating, especially if the patient is in contact with a conductive material or has an implant.

All Medtronic MiniMed pumps (Paradigm series, Minimed 530G, 6XX series, and 7XX series) were found to have the potential for abnormal insulin delivery due to changes in air pressure, which can be found during airplane take-off or landing. An unexpected additional dose of insulin, which can occur during take-off, can result in severe hypoglycemia, altered mental status, seizure, coma, or death. An unexpected under-delivery of insulin, which can occur during landing, can result in severe hyperglycemia, dehydration, diabetic ketoacidosis, or death.

Due to the inner diameter of the suction tubing connector being smaller than the suction canister lid port connection. This size difference, combined with the durometer of the plastic material, makes the assembly to a suction canister lid port difficult. This could result in inadequate suction and cause a delay in patient care.

An unexpected under-delivery of insulin, which can occur during landing, can result in severe hyperglycemia, dehydration, diabetic ketoacidosis, or death. During a delivery accuracy dry run testing of the 780G NGP infusion pump under dynamic pressure conditions, the firm observed that when air pressure decreased during take-off simulation, on average 0.569U more insulin was delivered in 15 minutes than the expected delivery volume at ambient pressure at 1 U/hr delivery rate; when air pressure increased during landing simulation, on average 0.537 U less insulin was delivered in 25 minutes than the expected delivery volume at ambient pressure at 1 U/hr delivery rate. The firm also observed that the mechanisms causing the variations in delivery volumes are independent of the delivery rate.

Use of embolization device with diameters greater-than-or-equal-to 4mm may lead to incomplete wall apposition and/or braid deformation (fish-mouthing/braid narrowing/braid collapse) noted during procedure and post-procedure, typically noted at 6-12 month imaging follow-up, potentially can lead to thrombosis and/or serious adverse events. Higher risk in females less-than-or-equal-to 45 years of age
Telcare, LLC has received customer complaints related to battery expansion/swelling for its Philips Connected Blood Glucose Meter (i.e., BGM 4 brand name) Monitoring System.. The issue was identified by post market surveillance data (customer complaints) - events of battery expansion/swelling and associated symptoms, e.g., leading to the device's removable back cover (battery port) to separate. If there is a loss of primary function of the device due to the described device defect, an immediate health consequence that may result is prolonged hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia due to delay in treatment, as the blood glucose measurement is not available to guide treatment. In a worst-case situation, there is potential for battery swelling to result in explosion of the battery and/ or device. Exposure to explosion, and subsequently projectiles from the explosion, may result in several immediate health consequences, including concussion, headache, dizziness, eye irritation, blurred vision, eye injury, and vision impairment.
Firm became aware of software issues related to most recent firmware update which could result in loss of patient tissue.
During endoscopic procedures using a combination of the video processor EPK-i8020c and the i20c series video endoscope, the observed image can become reddish or dark (1.8%). Users have observed smoke-like steam and noted that the light guide at the tip is hot during use / after the endoscope is removed from the patient, and may cause thermal injury to the patient's mucous membranes.
