There is a potential for thrombus formation on balloons prepped and staged in the vasculature for long durations. All users, such as those performing lead extraction cases may not be aware of this risk. It was determined that current labeling is insufficient to ensure all potential users minimize the time the balloon remains in vasculature. If left in too long it could lead to embolization.
HeartStart XL MonitorlDefibrillators may not have been included in prior field actions and received required corrections
Internal Paddles may wear over time and may not be safe or ready for use, unless the directions in the Instructions for Use (IFU) to perform routine operational checks are followed. The instructions for use rely on these checks rather than specifying a maximum number of sterilization cycles to determine when the paddles should be discarded. A damaged Internal Paddle may not be able to deliver therapy.

The unplugging of the main cable on the monitor trolley from the X10 connector can cause an unsafe electrical voltage (up to 67,6 V DC) at the X10 connector. This can result in an electrical shock if the user or other persons touch the contact pins of the X10 connector.
Teleflex received the attached Medical Device Recall Notice from Pajunk Medical. Teleflex Medical is a distributor of Pajunk products. According to the notice, Pajunk internally identified a packaging problem that may affect certain batches of the SPROTTE lumbar puncture cannulas with introducer. Due to this problem Pajunk cannot guarantee the sterility of the affected batches.

If the C-arm leaves its intended travel path due to a fault within the drivetrain, movements may be impacted or impossible and the area of interest cannot be reached. In the event the C-arms movements are not possible, the system can only be returned to normal operation with the support of a field service engineer
Abbott identified that samples tested for ARCHITECT STAT High Sensitive Troponin I and STAT High Sensitivity Troponin I assays (LN 3P25 and LN 2R98) may show interaction when processed directly after the ARCHITECT iGentamicin (LN 1P31) assay and patient results might be impacted.
The rotary therapy selector switch may fail, resulting in unexpected device behavior including: 1) The device may not turn on; 2) The device may not perform the selected function;3) The device may deliver a shock with an energy level different than the setting selected by the user. In any of these scenarios, appropriate therapy delivery may be delayed.
Possible mis-labeling of the device with incorrect serial number labels which may result in a patient's misdiagnosis.
Damaged ESD bags used for storing components in Processor PCA Replacement Kits
Entry point and lead placement inaccuracies during deep brain stimulation lead implantation procedures may occur when using a specific combination of the firm's Steriotactic System and auto-registration feature with a specific imaging system (also known as a fiducial-less procedure). Minor patient movement may not be initially detected by the user or the software during the auto-registration scan process potentially resulting in inaccuracies and risks for the patient including: inaccurate lead placement, delay of surgery, aborted surgery, or additional intervention (including revision of the lead placement and subsequent imaging).

Main cable can be plugged or unplugged from the X10 connector which is part of the main unit (c-arm) at any time during clinical session. If the system displays the error message Err 16305 / 80, the unplugging of the main cable can cause an unsafe electrical voltage (125 V DC) at the X10 connector and result in an electrical shock if the user or other persons touch the contact pins of the X10 connector. These contact pins are accessible when the main cable is unplugged from the X10 connector
Temperature sensing catheters failed to meet the established calibrated temperature sensing tolerance of +/- 0.2¿C. Failure to correctly measure patient body temperatures could lead to an incorrect diagnosis and insufficient treatment
Inability for the guidewire to pass through the needles included with the catheter kits.

When strain relief is lost at the stand side of the Stand MVS Trolley Cable, over time one or more electrical contacts could break due to pulling, twisting, or dropping of the connector. If this happens, live parts may be exposed (230 V) and/or the video signal can be lost.
