Nonconforming product which was dispositioned for rejection was mistakenly released for commercial use.

An issue with the DL900 and DL950 Series Holter Recorder was recognized on January 1, 2020. This issue can prevent the recorder from operating normally. Braemar confirmed that beginning on January 1, 2020 if a AAA battery is inserted in the recorder and a user attempts to start it, the recorder will display Error: 602 and fail to function for a new patient study. There are no actions that a clinical user can take to clear this error. Even if this error code is displayed, existing ECG recordings stored on the device can still be downloaded via the standard Holter Application Software. Error 602 may be able to be cleared by technical or engineering staff at the customer site.

A deterioration of performance was identified with influenza type B Enzyme Immunoassay Kits with findings of a positive bias with kit controls. Patient sample results may be affected with falsely elevated results incorrectly indicating a protective level of anti-Hib antibody in the assessment of immunodeficiency.

It has been determined that some units of catheters were not tightly connected to the thumb port. This may result in the catheter disconnecting from the thumb port which could reduce the suction performance and make it difficult to remove from the patient's trachea.

Insufficient shielding of Philips SensaVue DVI Adapter for computer monitor.

It has been determined that N-acetyl p benzoquinone imine (NAPQI), a metabolite of acetaminophen (paracetamol), may cause negative interference for assays if present in high quantities in serum due to acetaminophen overdoese. This could result in a delay in diagnosis and treatment.

There is a potential problem with firm s Connected OR Cart, 120V resulting in cart monitor not attaching flush with their monitor stow handle. The product is not manufactured to specifications and is positioned on the incorrect side that may lead to monitor falling from the monitor arm and a risk of user injury.

M4758A Ambulance Parameter Extension (APE) kit may cause ECG "Leads Off" condition in hot, humid environments

Perfusion tubing pack was packaged with the incorrect cuvette.

Atellica and ADVIA hsCRP calibrator accuracy has drifted away from the reference materials (ERM-DA470/IFCC), which is causing a high bias on QC and patient sample recovery.

Atellica CH: The Atellica¿ CH High Sensitivity CReactive Protein Calibrator (hsCRP CAL) is for in vitro diagnostic use in calibrating the hsCRP assay using the Atellica¿ CH Analyzer.

When using the Table Up/Down button, the system may experience Error 80, which locks the geometry in that specific state, requiring the intervention of a service Engineer. Additionally, the thermos switch, which handles power down of the unit in case of transformer overheating, was installed incorrectly at production.

Siemens became aware of an issue of incorrect use of the bypass key overriding the built-in collision control creating risk of collision with obstacles or persons when the operator uses the override function.
