Medical device and health technology recalls from FDA. Includes diagnostic equipment, implants, monitors, and therapeutic devices.
A subset of devices from the ACCOLADE Family of Pacemakers and CRT-Ps, built before September 2018, have an increased potential to initiate Safety Mode during telemetry or other normal, higher-power operations due to latent high battery impedance.
Vagus nerve stimulator generators may stop delivering stimulation due to an internal, mechanically activated component that may become stuck in a closed position, which may result in patients returning to baseline seizure frequency or depressive symptoms and in the longer term, patients may be required to undergo generator replacement surgery to replace their device.
Optical Sensors have been damaged due to physical interaction between the inlet and another device resulting in a Placement Signal Not Reliable (PSNR) alarm and loss of Central Venous (CV) Placement Signal, Pulmonary Artery (PA) Placement Signal & Pulmonary Artery Pulse Index (PAPi) metrics. Abiomed is reinforcing that there is a risk of potential interaction between the tip of guidewires, indwelling central venous lines or devices and inlet of the Impella pumps listed above during the insertion, manipulation, and removal of those devices. The interaction may result in optical sensor damage, temporary pump stop, or permanent pump stop.
Incorrect labeling for seven manufactured lots of certain models of Arterial Cannulae.

Spore test strip monitoring system, designed for routine monitoring of sterilization processes, may have a printing error on the return envelope that may cause spore test results to be reported to the incorrect customer's account.
Potential for Polytetrafluoethylene (PTFE) material encasing the stent loop may prevent the stent from being pushed out of the introducer.
Knee insert package may contain an acetabular system, which may cause surgical delay to get a new product.
Gas powered emergency resuscitator has a circuit flow controller manufactured with an undersized spring, which may cause resuscitator not reach the high and low ends of the PIP and PEEP pressure ranges, which may cause a loss of positive pressure, impacting effective ventilation of the patient.
There is the potential for in-vivo balloon deflation issues, including difficulty or inability to deflate the balloon in specific lots.
False-positive MSI-H results generated by the Idylla MSI Test.
Oxygen concentrator may melt or catch on fire during use.
Potential for two issues: 1. Bent or detached heater wire; 2. Silicone peeling or detaching from the Jaws of the Harvesting Tool

Potential pneumatic valve failure that may cause the LVP to stop an active infusion and/or could prevent the pump from being used.
