Other Medical Devices

Software to enhance Safety Architecture is available and designed to prevent initiation of Safety Mode in an ambulatory setting due to a high battery impedance state for the ACCOLADE family of devices which includes ACCOLADE, PROPONENT, ESSENTIO, and ALTRUA 2 dual chamber (DR) standard life (SL) and DR extended life (EL) pacemakers; and VISIONIST and VALITUDE cardiac resynchronization therapy pacemakers (CRT-Ps).

Additional IFU updates to provide further clarification on safe and effective use of bronchoscopes when used in conjunction with laser, argon plasma coagulation, and high-frequency therapy equipment.

Potential packaging issue that could compromise the sterile barrier. Defect may result in loss of sterility of the device, presenting potential risk of infection if device is implanted.

Identified products were re-gassed (sterilized more than once) after a nonconformance occurred during the initial Ethylene Oxide (EO) gas injection process. These products have not been validated for exposure to multiple sterilization cycles. Therefore, product quality, safety, and effectiveness cannot be confirmed for product that was re-gassed.

Flow diverter may have a manufacturing issue related to the tantalum length and/or tantalum attachment pattern, which may lead the device to be incompletely open or not properly apposed to the vessel wall, which may necessitate device recapture and withdrawal of the delivery system and microcatheter together. Insufficient apposition could lead to long-term health consequences.

Firm has identified a security vulnerability in AW Server products. If exploited, a malicious actor could compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of patient data.

Production assembly error resulting in the potential for reversed articulation, where moving the lever forward caused the probe tip to anteflex rather than retroflex, and vice versa.

Reviewed complaints have identified that conjunctival wound dehiscence may result in early exposure of the surgical patch.

To provide further information to the user to ensure proper use of the medical device. the caps had been changed from a threaded version to a press-on version whereby the user must press the caps firmly onto the dialyzer to securely affix the cap.

It was found that the shaft for mounting the X-ray tube unit on the support may break. In addition, it was found that the protective parts might not work effectively only when the shaft was broken while being operated toward the front while lifting.

Devices were distributed with incorrect label without CE and UKCA mark, missing patient leaflet and patient implant card.

The device cap label may not adhere to the sensor, compromising the sterility of the sensor, and increasing the risk of infection.

There is a potential for an ice blockage to form or currently exist within the magnet venting system. In the event of a quench, helium gas may be unable to escape through the designed venting paths, leading to a pressure build-up within the helium containment system. This pressure build-up could ultimately rupture the helium containment system, potentially resulting in a helium leak into the scanning room.

Device used for unilateral or bilateral occlusion of blood flow to the lower limbs has a potential manufacturing defect that may compromise the structural integrity of the device and device performance during use.
