Power loss may result in an interruption of patient therapy or monitoring.
BSC has noted a potential inability to cut and remove polyps for these lots/batches. potential consequences related to the snares not performing as intended would be a prolonged procedure duration, tissue damage and/or self-limited bleeding. The most severe potential injury would include immediate or delayed hemorrhage and/or perforation requiring intervention up to and including open surgery; the likelihood of these severe injuries occurring is remote and, to date, have not been reported as a complaint. The potential inability to cut may also lead to inadequate removal of target tissue.
This voluntary recall is being conducted following three customer reports of the device cannula detaching during a procedure. In one case, the detached cannula was not retrieved during the procedure. Potential risks associated with a detached cannula include delay in treatment, biliary leak, pain and retained device fragments.
Cleaning agents may damage Inter-Unit Interface (IUI) Connectors, which may lead to interruption of communication or power between PC Unit and modules, which may result in an infusion that stops with a CHANNEL DISCONNECTED message, and an audio/visual alarm on the PC Unit and an interruption of therapy or monitoring.

The DAP meters were found to be outside of tolerance.
Potential risk of patient mix-up on analyzers due to software issues.
When video laryngoscopy system users apply, twisting motions while connecting the blade in the HDMI port, or excessive torsion to the connection port, this force is transferred to the HDMI PCB, which may result in video synchronization interruption, loss of live image/blank screen, no cameras connected monitor warning, may present risk to patients, in which time to intubation is more critical.
Potential risk of patient mix-up on analyzers due to software issues.
Ingestible video capsule system has capsule with incorrect capture mode which will not record data when the capsule is ingested by patients. If used, there is a risk of delay of diagnosis and the patient may need to repeat the exam.
Shanghai United Imaging Healthcare Co.
Two issues were identified with the stationary x-ray system. 1. Some position illustrations in the patient exam interface show the incorrect anatomical position for the standard of care. When the image is acquired with the wrong reference position, clinical diagnostic requirements cannot be met.T2. Where image stitching is used, the left and right tag information may be lost. When these problems are encountered, an additional exposure is needed and the patient will receive more radiation.
Philips North America
Thermo switches in the main power supply for the system may be incorrectly installed, resulting in a malfunction.
A healthcare provider (HCP) noticed a patient had a lowered historic SpO2 reading that the software should have triggered a notification to the care team, but no notification was found. A software defect was encountered causing the lack of notification. The defect could result in exposing a patient to potential hypoxia for a short window of time. The firm is correcting the software to bring the performance back into compliance with specifications.
