Outside packaging for a device indicated for introducing cardiovascular catheters into the heart, sustained water damage, which may have affected the sterile barrier of the product inside. Devices with a compromised sterile barrier could be a source for infection.

The firm identified a software design issue where the improper shut down of the instrument resulted in speeds.csv file contents of the software version 5.1 being erased. Due to this issue, the target RPM for the assay is 0 and the motor output required to achieve this RPM is also 0. Therefore, when the assay is run, the software applies 0 Volts to the motor and performs a 0 RPM assay. Because of this, there is no mixing of the blood with agonist and no moving of aggregates happens in front of the optical detectors. The resulting PAI is 0 and the result is displayed as Low.

There is a potential of the packaging not maintaining a sterile barrier for the tip caps.
