Elekta has become aware that Disposable Biopsy Needles (911933) from one batch (837838839) can contain some microscopic debris on the inside of the biopsy needle. The material in the debris is stainless steel, same material as the biopsy needle. No debris has been found on the outer parts of the biopsy needles. The sterility of the biopsy needles has not been affected. This issue has been reported from one site.
Insufficient welding leads to the heater cable becoming brittle and present with an error: ERROR 3481 HEATER UNABLE TO REACH TEMPERATURE; the instrument may stop, and the sample being processed will be lost
Under certain firing conditions, reloads were found to articulate in an uncontrolled manner potentially causing disruption to the staple line. The issue is related to components in impacted reloads that are not fully secure, which leads to uncontrolled articulation. The issue can occur using either the Endo GIA" Ultra Universal Stapler or Signia" Stapling System.

Certain batches of Opticross 40MHz Coronary Imaging Catheters manufactured using an incorrect voltage setting, which may have resulted in decreased image brightness.
Japanese IFU version had slightly different language and illustrations from the English IFU, which could contribute to the tip and plate falling off. In order to maintain consistency globally, the Japanese IFU will be updated to reflect the instructions in the English IFU

Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics
Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics has confirmed an average negative bias of -35% compared to the 3rd World Health Organization (WHO) International Standard (NIBSC code: 11/170) that is proportional across the assay measuring interval. The reference interval as claimed in the Instructions for Use (IFU) is not achieved with affected lots.

Potential For Aspiration from Unintended Sample Container During Sampling Center Processing on VITROS¿ 3600 Immunodiagnostic Systems and VITROS¿ 5600/XT 7600 Integrated Systems which may lead to erroneous test results.
Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics
A software defect affecting VITROS Systems running VITROS Software Versions 3.8.1 causes QC baseline statistics to not update as expected when changed by the user. This may cause erroneous patient results to be reported.
European version of microcatheter were distributed within US which contain a different "Indications for Use".

Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics
A software defect affecting VITROS Systems running VITROS Software Versions 3.8.0 and 3.8.1 causes the Configurable Westgard Rules to not report as expected. When a new control is defined, configurable Westgard rules, if selected, are not flagged or reported with the applicable QC results if the statistical criteria is met. This may result in acceptance of QC results that do not meet acceptance criteria, which may cause erroneous patient results to be reported.
