identified an issue where a component failure in the specific Gradient Coil type of affected systems can potentially act as a heat source, with a potential to produce smoke and/or fire. If smoke or a fire occurs, the risk to patients or operators may include inhalation of smoke, burns, and/or asphyxia which may lead to injury or even death. This issue could also lead to property damage.

Sterile, single use closed system drug transfer devices, standalone or on infusion sets or bonded syringes, may leak at the interface between the closed male luer component and the needle-free connector, which may cause procedure delay, treatment interruptions, exposure to hazardous drugs, and/or underdosing of medication.

Contact lens insertion solution may lack sterility.

Investigation determined that one lot of the T2 Greater Trochanter Nail (GTN) was labeled as left version but contained a right nail and another lot was labeled as right version but contained a left nail.

A software issue where "low" and "terminal" battery alerts did not display on the screen to the user in specific circumstances when the device was not running patient therapy.

Investigation confirmed that the GAMMA4 Right Long Nail was manufactured with the geometry of a left nail.

An investigation into a report of the patient wrap (ThermoWrap), used with the Allon device, exceeding the set temperature determined that if: 1. The Human Sensor Board is disconnected from the Controller Board in the Allon device AND the temperature alarms are disabled, or 2. The Water In and Water Out and Thermostat sensors are disconnected from the Human Sensor Board AND the temperature alarms are disabled, the device will proceed to heat the water above the hardware fault limit without notifying the user of the faulty condition.

A new motor/encoder and cable was introduced into instruments manufactured starting with serial number 300141 incorrectly. This incorrect installation is introducing error codes for the Dxl 9000 which prevents the assay from being performed and a delay in results from being generated, and may require field service to resolve the delay.

The MUSE Administrator Account active directory or local credential could potentially be used from your local network to log into a GE HealthCare MUSE 5 system and potentially manipulate recorded patient data.

A software issue was identified in the internal communication process between the system software and the X-ray generator firmware. Loss of imaging (X-ray) functionality caused by the software issue in either of the two situations identified could result in a delay of therapy. The potential delay may result in serious adverse health outcomes, including the possibility of death, especially when the system is used with patients undergoing complex and/or urgent interventions for potentially life-threatening conditions (e.g., acute ischemic stroke, ST-segment elevation myocardial ischemia, life-threatening bleedings).

OEC Elite and OEC 3D Mobile C-Arms Exceeding 4% Source to Image Distance in X-ray Field.

A software update corrected an issue where "low" and "terminal" battery alerts did not display on the screen to the user in specific circumstances when the device was not running patient therapy.

A manufacturing defect in the sample probe (S probe). The corners of the tip of the defective S probe are rounded and chamfered, which can prevent the proper formation of the "air layer" required for normal dispensing. The air layer is the air space that separates the cleaning water filled in the probe from the sample sucked into the probe. Maintaining this air space prevents the cleaning water and the sample from mixing. In the defective S probe, the "air layer" was not properly formed, causing the cleaning water and the sample to mix diluting the sample. As a result, the sample mixture dispensed into the cuvette has a lower concentration than the original sample, and the analyte concentration measured is lower than expected results.
