The HSG Procedure Trays and Endosee System Convenience Kits contain non-sterile iodine pouches, however the peel away lid labels incorrectly identify the iodine pouches as sterile.

Due to defects (bubbles/voids) identified during standard finished goods testing

GE HealthCare has become aware that gradient coils for certain MR systems (see affected product list in this letter), under specific conditions, can produce elevated acoustic noise during scanning. As a result, acoustic levels can exceed 99dB, the limit established by International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC 60601-2-33) when using hearing protection with a Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) of 29dB, as currently required in the Operator Manual.

Lens blisters may have an incomplete or leaking seal which may render them unsterile.

Due to complaints their is the potential that irrigation solution may leaked into the handpiece and battery pack causing it to malfunction.

Potential for faulty devices as a result of depleted batteries.

Due to manufacturing error, Intraosseous device built-in stabilizer may not be released properly after deployment and insertion.

Due to manufacturing error, Intraosseous device built-in stabilizer may not be released properly after deployment and insertion.

Eye syncing issues causing the device to be inoperable. Unable to be repaired due to discontinuation of support for the Pico 2 platform, which was no longer in production or serviceable as of August 31, 2023.

Beckman Coulter has received complaints of erroneous Vitamin B12 results when using Access Vitamin B12 Reagent lot 439850. The affected reagent lot may cause erroneously low or high Vitamin B12 results, leading to a delayed or improper diagnosis and/or repeat testing.

The remote interlock connector, which is required by 21 CFR 1040.10(f)(3), in the remote stop box was not installed the connector or was mechanically installed but not wired. The labels placed on the projectors do not meet requirements specified in 21 CFR 1010.4 (Variances), 21 CFR 1010.2 (Certification), 21 CFR 1010.3 (Identification) and 21 CFR 1040.10 (g)(Labelling requirements). The identification label does not include the date of manufacture as required by 21 CFR 1010.3. The corrective action plan covers three families of laser light show of projectors: DIODE. CLUB and PURE with three different hardware configurations such as the number of the number of RJ45 ports, radiant power of emissions and network configurations. No specific user manuals were provided to each model family as required by 21 CFR 1040.10(h)(1) (Informational requirements (1) User information). The Quality Control test did not validate the manual reset function to enable resumption of laser radiation emission from Class IV laser projectors after an interruption caused using a remote interlock. No supplemental product reports, as required according to 21 CFR 1002.11.

Quality control (QC) drift when certain lots of Performance Verifiers (PVs) are used with certain lots of cholinesterase enzyme (CHE) slides. This drift occurs when the PVs are used 2-7 days after reconstitution; however, the label stability claims for the PV fluids is 7 days following reconstitution. This may lead to inaccurate QC results. The use of the PVs when the QC results are outside of the customer s established ranges could result in delayed results for patients due to the need to repeat QC testing or reconstitute new PV fluids and repeat testing. It could also result in erroneous patient results (small positive bias).

Affected products contain Staphylococcus epidermidis instead of the expected Brevundimonas diminuta. This may cause the user's quality control to fail and delayed diagnosis for the patient.
