Diagnostic Equipment

The warming surfaces or incubator well temperatures of the listed products may exceed the desired set temperature. If temperatures exceed the desired set value, the device will alarm appropriately.

Due to complaints received reporting cracks and/or leaks of the stopcocks associated with the external drainage and monitoring system (EDMS).

Due a potential software/configuration issue that may result is incorrect alignment during reconstructing a SPECT/CT study.

Potential for falsely depressed auto-diluted results for samples above the measuring interval of 18.00 mg/L, up to 30.00 mg/L, when using the Atellica CH ¿2-Microglobulin (B2M) reagent.

High-level disinfection ("HLD") with Acecide-C disinfectant in the Olympus OER-Pro Automated Endoscope Reprocessor ("AER") has been removed as a compatible reprocessing method from the Instructions for Use when reprocessing the GIF-1THI90 EVIS EXERA III GASTROINTESTINAL VIDEOSCOPE ( GIF-1TH190 ).

BD identified through potency testing as part of a stability test request to monitor Ampicillin AM-2 due to decrease in potency results of 65% at 18 months, may result in falsely resistant result for ampicillin susceptibility

Potential safety issue where a patient may be harmed while preparing for or during a scan.

Gradient coils for certain MR systems (see affected product list in this letter), under specific conditions, can produce elevated acoustic noise during scanning.

May Generate Negatively Biased Results When Testing Samples with High Concentrations of CRP, showing less than upper AMI of 90 mg/L (in the 70-90 mg/L range) while the samples having higher than 90 mg/L. User no way to know if the sample has to be diluted to measure again.

Potential safety issue where a patient may be harmed while preparing for or during a scan.

Abnormal calibration signals and control recovery issues on the Homocysteine Enzymatic (HCYS) Assay can produce erroneous patient results (positive or negative bias)

To better define the drying procedures described in the IFU to improve the instructions for easier understanding of each drying step after human errors and concerns were identified when completing a Human Factors evaluation of the GIF-1TH190.

A software issue affecting Philips Vue PACS may cause incorrect ischemic map and table value calculations when using the export function in the Perfusion Application for a Siemens CT perfusion study, resulting in misdiagnosis due to incorrect ischemic map and table values.

The Venclose" RF Ablation Catheters may have been manufactured with internal wiring error. The red and yellow signal wires were soldered on swapped ports of the catheter PCB. This error in wire configuration would lead to power being applied through the proximal 3/4th of the heating coil, bypassing the thermocouple, which will then cause the generator to overdrive the catheter in an attempt to reach desired temperature set point. The wire attachment error causes the device to reach temperatures exceeding the levels intended for therapeutic efficacy, while the console is falsely indicating that temperature has not yet been reached, thus increasing the risk of harm due to excessive temperature.

The overlay of visual field test locations on a probability map, as presented in IMAGEnet 6 in the so-called "Hood Report", is not appropriate as it can imply a structure/function correlation for which clinical evidence is not provided

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.
