VIDASΒΏ CMV IgM 30 Tests
Biomerieux
bioMerieux received complaints about calibration issue observed on several lots of VIDASΒΏ CMV IgM (ref 30205 ; 30205-01).
When tested with H. influenza ATCC 49247 and ATCC 49766 both organisms may exhibit lighter than normal growth making zones difficult to measure.
Discoloration and turbidity were present in the specified lots of STMs because of Longer Monsoon season at the South Korean Manufacturing Facility.
Potential for the device safety interlock to fail. The safety interlock prevents an empty single-use reload from being erroneously fired a second time. If the safety interlock fails and the empty single-use reload is fired a second time, the stapler may cut tissue but no staples will deploy from the empty reload, potentially resulting in a failed anastomosis, bleeding, tissue trauma, and the potential need to convert to an open procedure.
Their is a potential that Video Processor/Illuminators may exhibit flickering, loss of image or unintended reboots.

Inadequate images resizing and 2D measurement errors may occur when biplanar acquisition has been performed with patient orientation different from AP (Antero-Posterior).

BioGX SARS-CoV-2 Reagents for BD MAX" System rehydration buffer tubes were not adequately sealed causing some tubes to be partially filled or empty upon use. A partially filled or empty rehydration buffer tube may lead to an Unresolved (UNR) result on the BD MAX" System
There is the potential for the Controller power cables (AC Adapter, DC Adapter, and Battery cables), HVAD Alarm Adapter, and HVAD Monitor data cables to cause damage to the HVAD Controller ports when inserting the cables into the Controller ports, due to wear from misalignment of the cables to the port.

Product Label - ACUSON Sequoia *** Power Input: 100-240V~, 13.0-5.4A, 50-60Hz *** (240)11148775 Model User Manual states - ACUSON Sequoia Diagnostic Ultrasound Systems

The ultrasound system averages the Mean Sac Diameter (MSD) and Gestational Sac Diameter (GSD) into the Estimated Date of Delivery (EDD) calculation. This may result in an incorrect EDD, which may influence patient management decisions regarding induction of labor and elective caesarean delivery, which may result in premature births.
The capsule may fail to attach to the esophageal mucosa, which in turn may lead to the aspiration of the capsule. In the event of capsule aspiration, immediate intervention to remove the capsule is required. Potential outcomes following capsule aspiration include low oxygen saturation, intervention to retrieve the capsule, potential need to intubate the patient, extended hospital stay and a delay of treatment. Thirteen reports of capsule aspiration have been received the last 2 years.

The tube holder can separate from the barrier that secures the device to the patients' body. The tube holder has the potential failure to separate from the barrier. This separation might contribute to the potential risk of the tube/drain/catheter migration or loss.
