The positive control material (Rhizopus stolonifer) within the KWIK-STIK assembly was contaminated with another fungal organism (Aspergillus brasiliensis). As a result, users may observe A. brasiliensis growth when using the control material.
Inability to advance the guidewire through the feeding tube during placement due to blocked lumen of the barb connector. May lead prolongation in the procedure to exchange the device for another leading to leading to a cascade of events which may include additional intervention to close the puncture site, bleeding, leakage of gastric contents, and aspiration

Patient tabletop moved out to the home position during scan initialization, may cause operator/bystander staying by the rear of the table to collide with the moved tabletop and be injured
Medline is recalling certain lots of our Adult Portable Bed Rails that were manufactured after the mandatory compliance requirement (ASTM F3186-17, Standard Specification for Adult Portable Bed Rails and Related Products and 16 CFR Part 1270, Safety Standard for Adult Portable Bed Rails) and failed to meet all mandatory requirements outlined in these standards.
Esculin, a substrate used in other panels and normally in A16 well, was found in A17 well. A17 in yeast panels is supposed to be an empty well and is not a part of the normal ID evaluation. However, A17 is checked for fluorescence and if anything is found, the system will abort the panel with the message Fluorescent interference has been detected. Esculin is expected to trigger this fluorescence and test cancellation.
Product may have a weak seal which may result in a breach of sterility of the contents if the seal fails. The weak seal may not be detectable by all users.
Products were found to have confirmed drug cross contamination prior to release may lead to incorrect, inadequate, or absent antibiotic treatment or delay in results
Neonatal pads are experiencing reduced water flow, which may reduce or prevent water heating or cooling performance of the pads that are part of a temperature management system.
InfuTronix is removing the Nimbus Infusion Pump Systems from the market due to multiple potential failure modes, including battery failure, upstream occlusion, system errors, drug product leakage, high or low flow rate, or damaged pump housing. The device will not be available or supported after June 20, 2024.

Natus has become aware that its third-party supplier Parker Laboratories Inc. is conducting a voluntary recall related to their Tensive Conductive Adhesive Gel, Ref. 22-60 Lot Number A0623009. They have received five complaints. These customers reported that the gel is too thick, is discolored (darker than usual), and in one instance, patients reported irritation after procedures using the gel.
Due to a manufacturing issue, the screw seat location on the abutment product may be too high, causing mating screw to have a shorter engagement length into the associated implant.
Retroactively reported correction from 2022: A software defect may cause an incorrect (Fail-Stop) Alarm when an administration set is loaded with an upstream occlusion present, resulting in a non-recoverable (Fail-Stop) Pump Problem alarm. This may lead to delay of therapy, and patient may experience from no to minimal to serious harm. This issue was resolved in all fielded product in software version 5.2.1, which was installed in September 2022.
Retroactively reported corrections from 2023: 1) A software defect may cause an incorrect (Fail-Stop) alarm when an administration set is loaded or coupled while the pump is executing the power-up sequence. May lead to delay in therapy. 2) Alert is not annunciated informing the clinician that the bolus cannot be delivered when the entered bolus dose exceeds the Care Profile Hard Rate Max limit and Rapid Bolus is selected. May lead to over infusion. Both issues were resolved in all fielded product in software version 5.8.0, which was installed in affected units May thru August 2023.
