On October 18, 2024, BD has identified through customer complaints and an increase in field failures / replacements of the power supply module (part number 650781, Power Module AC-DC 250W 12/24V M3S4S6) on BD FACSLyric flow cytometers, which has the potential for the instruments to fail to power on and/or stay on. The potential power supply failure on BD FACSLyric Flow Cytometer may lead to risks to the laboratory staff including inhalation of fumes followed by shortness of breath or coughing if failure occurs during laboratory working hours. The patient may be asked to return for additional biospecimen collection procedure and risks associated with the procedure (bruising, pain, bleeding, etc.). In addition, patient specimen loss and/ or delay providing results of testing results. There may be additional risks to the laboratory staff including inhalation of fumes followed by shortness of breath or coughing if failure occurs during laboratory working hours. In addition, the patient may be asked to return for additional biospecimen collection procedure and risks associated with the procedure (bruising, pain, bleeding, etc.). In the Notification Letter sent on November 20, 2024, customers are instructed to continue their normal operation of your BD FACSLyric Flow Cytometer according to the Instructions For Use after immediately inspecting inventory for the specific catalog and power supply serial numbers listed in the notification letter and follow the instructions listed under Actions for Clinical Users

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 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.
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2023-2024 Ford Transit vehicles previously repaired under recall number 24V-102. Incorrect bolts may have been used to attach the rear axle shaft, which can lead to the rear wheel locking up or separating from the axle.
Firm received complaints reporting that guides were warped when pulled out of packaging. This issue may result in extension of surgery to find another product, or may lead to adverse local tissue reaction leading to surgical intervention.
Heart-Lung Machine GUI touchscreen may go dark for 10-15 seconds, safety/performance functions remain operational before reset, control maintained through backup control panel, but second reset may occur, may lead to gas blender standby, then gas blender must be reactivated using user interface on blender, sensors deactivated until new case started; GUI reset can lead to Hypoxia and Hypoperfusion.
Within the Irish Market, a Field Safety Notice is being issued due to a select number of authorized labelled Defibtech AED Pads, which have had the authorized label removed and an unauthorized label applied, could lead to expired Defibtech AED Pads appearing as though they are within the acceptable shelf life. There is a possibility of hydrogel drying, which may result in poor electrical connection to the patient, which can reduce the energy delivered to the patient.

There is the potential for exam files being assigned duplicate Unique Identifiers (UIDs),. If the system receiving the DICOM file (e.g., Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS)) relies solely on the UID to accept exams, this could lead to a mismatch of the patients identification with their physiological data.
