A software issue prevents the monitor from alarming when the high/low acoustic respiration rate (RRa) limits are violated.

There is a potential for a positive bias on Quality Control (QC) and patient sample results when using some IRON_2 reagent wedge pairs. When the issue occurs, the observed bias will vary wedge to wedge.

There is a potential interruption of data communication between E-modules inserted in the F2-01 Frame and CARESCAPE ONE and CARESCAPE Canvas 1000 patient monitors if the F2-01 Frame has not been powered down within the last 120 days.

In rare occasions, the combination of a leak of a highly flammable solvent at the ion source probe, and an electrical discharge may result in a flame on top of the probe and possible ejection of the electrode assembly from the probe. There is a risk to the patient/user, customer property, or environment because there is a potential for a health risk and property damage should the flame be left unattended. The failure causes a delay in patient results.

Ortho Clinical Diagnostics (QuidelOrtho) confirmed certain Proboscis/Piston Assemblies manufactured between 07-Apr-2022 (Date code: 040722) and 19-Dec-2022 (Date code: 121922) may not perform as intended due to an out-of-specification barrel component. This may cause VITROS VersaTips and/or VITROS MicroTips to be improperly seated on the proboscis, which may result in falsely elevated Gentamicin and Valproic Acid assay results as well as an increased frequency of condition codes resulting in delayed patient results. The issue was identified by internal testing when reported instruments failed to pass release testing and were traced to the molded Proboscis part J56639 with date codes from 040722 onward.

Specific lots of 3M Attest Super Rapid Readout Biological Indicators (1492V), 3M Attest Super Rapid 5 Steam-Plus Challenge (41482V, 41482VF), and 3M Attest Super Rapid Readout Steam Challenge (1496V) may contain biological indicators with a cap that melts, deforms and/or cracks following a steam sterilization cycle of 132¿C and 135¿C.

The display of inflow volume can reach its limit of 30,000 ml during long procdeure and the inflow volume display will freeze at the maximum value while the deficit will start counting backwards until 0 ml is reached and may result in fluid overload

The sterile blister packaging may be damaged, and sterility may be compromised

Multiple impacts, for example from being dropped, can cause to the Ambu aView 2 Advance to short-circuit and under special circumstances make the lithium-ion battery in the device combust leading to smoke and flames

Various medical devices potentially exposed to rodent and rodent activity. In addition, medical devices may have been subjected to temperatures in excess of storage requirements on product labeling.

During rework of components during the manufacturing process, an additional piece of material may have been left in the device, which may result in an impact on measurement performance.

Full screen error message may occur on patient monitors with affected hardware version, either during or after laryngoscopes are unplugged from monitors, informing users a 60-100 second shutdown/restart are required. Error prevents: viewing graphical patient vital signs, sounding of pulse audio tone, visualization of patient airway used during intubation; may lead to treatment delay or hypoxia.

LANDAUER received reports indicating that some nanoDots may potentially be outside of the specified range of +/-5.5% accuracy. Investigation of nanoDots indicated the presence of a potential non-conformance in the Optical Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) material that is beamed after exposure and emits fluorescence proportional to radiation exposure.
