All Medtronic MiniMed pumps (Paradigm series, Minimed 530G, 6XX series, and 7XX series) were found to have the potential for abnormal insulin delivery due to changes in air pressure, which can be found during airplane take-off or landing. An unexpected additional dose of insulin, which can occur during take-off, can result in severe hypoglycemia, altered mental status, seizure, coma, or death. An unexpected under-delivery of insulin, which can occur during landing, can result in severe hyperglycemia, dehydration, diabetic ketoacidosis, or death.

For certain MR systems, a scan can be resumed following a Power Monitor trip when the "6-minute average SAR" is above the limit indicated on the "SAR Display". The user interface may incorrectly enable a scan to proceed earlier than intended. If resumed by the operator, such a scan can result in potential excessive tissue heating, especially if the patient is in contact with a conductive material or has an implant.
Medline is recalling medical convenience kits which were assembled with specific Coloplast Foley catheters and Prostatic catheters which were subsequently recalled due to a potential sterility issue detected during testing.
Due to faulty circuit board in speed control remote use in conjunction with a wheelchair power assist, their is a potential for lost of control of device potentially resulting in minor and major injuries.

Due to software anomalies that may impact on rod planning specifically, certain optional surgical parameters may have had errors that resulted i incorrect calculations displayed on system. Impacted parameters includes the following: Roussouly Classification, Real Lumbar Lordosis and Real Thoracic Kyphosis, Barrey Ratio, and Lenke Classification.
Vagus nerve stimulator generators may stop delivering stimulation due to an internal, mechanically activated component that may become stuck in a closed position, which may result in patients returning to baseline seizure frequency or depressive symptoms and in the longer term, patients may be required to undergo generator replacement surgery to replace their device.

There is a potential for the Inline Controller to be using the spring out of specification causing a loss of positive pressure resulting in the Neo-Tee Resuscitator and/or Circuit will not reach the high and low ends of the PIP and PEEP pressure ranges impacting effective ventilation of the patient..
Large Volume Pump Software, version 5.9.2 and earlier has potential for the following anomalies: 1. The pump may become nonfunctional if during an alarm condition the Pause Audio option is repeated 70 time or more. 2. If a secondary infusion is started at the exact moment a primary infusion completes and VTBI reaches 0, it will switch to primary. The primary infusion will infuse at the previously programed primary rate and continue until the infusion is stopped or the bag is empty.
Disposable set may leak during priming from a female quick connector due to a crack in the female quick connector, may lead to a potential delay in treatment since the set will need to be replaced by another set
Snap rings may become partially or completed detached from the shafts within the internal mechanism. Uncontrolled rotation may occur on the left and right roll axes when the rings are removed or damaged.
Potential weak pouch seal on Panther Fusion GBS assay cartridge, causing potential for invalid or incorrect results leading to a possible delay of treatment.
Fluid Delivery Sets were incorrectly assembled with a white macro drip chamber instead of the required grey micro drip chamber. The macro drip chamber delivers three times more fluid per drop than the micro drip chamber.
Increase in complaints associated with a molding defect within the inner lumen of delivery cartridges which could result in a scratch on the intraocular lens (IOL) upon delivery.
GE HealthCare has become aware that certain Infinia, VariCam/VG/VH, Brivo NM 615, Discovery NM 630, Discovery NM/CT 670, and Optima NM/CT 640 Nuclear Medicine systems (see Affected Products Details and Appendices) could have been transported or relocated without proper detector support, which can result in excessive load being applied to the detector mounting mechanisms. If this occurs, it can potentially result in a detector fall and lead to life-threatening bodily injury.
