Users were experiencing a failure in the IAB Fiber Optic Sensor input on the IABP when inserting the Intra-Aortic Balloon Fiber Optic connector.
Users reported "System Over Temperature" alarms associated with a loss of pumping and/or the Cardiosave system entering Standby mode.
Lipemic interference failed to meet the performance specification listed within the IFU.
Users were reporting instances of "Gas Loss in IAB Circuit" and "Gas Gain in IAB Circuit" alarms while providing therapy. An internal investigation of the complaints determined that there is a potential trigger for these alarms that was not listed in the IFU: Patient Movement (coughing, general movement, and swallowing). Blood in the circuit, kinks/abrasions of the tubing/catheter and certain patient conditions could also trigger these alarms. The firm's HHE also identified hardware issues related to these alarms.

Olympus Corporation of the Americas
Revised OER-Pro, OER-Elite, OER-Mini endoscope reprocessor labeling- the LF-V and LF-P are no longer compatible endoscopes for reprocessing in the OERs. The addendum highlights the following changes: 1. Removal of LF-V and LF-P as compatible with the OER 2. Change conditions for ETO gas sterilization from 12% EtO to 100% EtO 3. Removing the reusable cleaning brush for the manual cleaning. Single Use brushes remain compatible

Potential failure of a bearing adhesive joint that can occur due to an assembly issue of the X/Y stage of the handpiece. If a broken glue bond were to occur, it could cause an overlap of cores, potentially leading to prolonged healing and irregularities in patient skin texture post-treatment, and/or scarring
