Undeclared allergen - egg
potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes
Failed Tablet/Capsule Specifications
Crystallization
Defective Container: Unable to get the solution out of the bottle as the spike of the cap was lodged in the nozzle of the product bottle
Gradient coils for certain MR systems (see affected product list in this letter), under specific conditions, can produce elevated acoustic noise during scanning.
Due to incorrect labels applied to devices during servicing. Labels contain the incorrect product name and CAT number.
Smiths Medical has identified a potential for ingress of fluid into the device during reprocessing. The ingress takes place at the rear of the device between the end cap and the tube. This could lead to staining of the device or allowing the fluid to remain in the device. In addition, the Hypochlorite Solution (200ppm) and the 4% Acetic Acid disinfectants recommended in the IFU may be inadequate according to the disinfection standards for this type of device.
Bronchoscopic visualization system power supplies have defective semiconductor components that may fail unexpectedly, which could result in an aborted procedure since it is a non recoverable failure. Manual removal of the bronchoscope when the system is not functioning can increase the chance of injury to the tissues of the lung as the scope is withdrawn including the possibility of pneumothorax.
Potential for mislabeled packaging in which a device labeled as a Pressure Regulating Balloon (UPN 72400024) which instead contained a Control Pump (UPN 72400098)
Bronchoscopic system uninterruptable power may have defective component, may cause power supply short circuit/trip protective circuit breakers causing sudden, unrecoverable power loss, which could occur while system is on mains or internal battery power; if during procedure, could cause interrupted/aborted procedure, may necessitate manual removal, which could lead to lung injury/pneumothorax.
Not all biopsy tools meant to fit bronchoscope channel (2.1mm inner diameter/length greater or equal to 1100mm) will pass through if scope channel positioned in sharp bend (approx. greater than 100-deg.), excessive force may result in tissue injury/pneumothorax; instruments with long rigid distal sections may exhibit insertion resistance when bronchoscope bending section significantly articulated.
Identified lots of Olympus product may be missing sterile and manufacturing lot numbers and expiration dates on the sterile packaging. The information can be found on the outer box or zipper bag label. Medline is recalling its kits which utilize affected product as a component.
