Medical Devices Recalls

The external sterile packaging was found adhered to the internal sterile packaging, potentially compromising sterility.

Medline Industries, LP is issuing a recall for specific item(s) and lot(s) of Medline Kits containing Cardinal Health Webcol Large Alcohol Prep Pads. Cardinal Health has deemed Webcol Large Alcohol Prep Pads to be non-sterile following the discovery of a contaminant (Paenibacillus phoenicis) during a routine sterilization dose audit.

The potential for stiffness value errors when a specific range of image reconstruction parameters is used in combination with Resoundant's algorithm, leading to the reconstruction voxel size settings in the default MRE scan protocol displaying too small.

During an internal review, Medline identified higher-than-expected endotoxin levels on a representative Medline neuro sponge product, indicating that in-market product may be out-of-specification for endotoxin.

Approximately 7.6% of cartridges from specific i-STAT EG7+ (list number 03P76-25), i-STAT EG6+ (list number 03P77-25) and i-STAT G3+ (list number 03P78-26) cartridge lots in the U.S. marketplace may report higher than expected PCO2 and lower than expected pH results due to a manufacturing issue. A falsely high pCO2 together with a falsely low pH makes the blood gas appear as if the patient is in severe respiratory acidosis. If the clinician believes the values are real, it may trigger unnecessary or even harmful interventions such as unnecessary ventilator changes, unnecessary medications, potential harm from overcorrection, or delays in identifying true problems.

Locking mechanisms may not properly secure to the Arc system, resulting in shifting of coordinates during procedures.

Based on long-term stability testing, it was determined that in units older than 1.5 years (17 months) the mixing rod may, in rare cases, come loose from its lock during the mixing process. Notification is to reduce the shelf life from 3 years to 1.5 years (17 months).

Includes an incorrect screw seat interface.

Kits contain the McKesson TRUE Metrix PRO Professional Monitoring Blood Glucose System that has been recalled for an issue with the software design of the E-5 Error Code where the meter displays an E-5 error code for a very high blood glucose event (> 600 mg/dL) or when there is a test strip error, which can lead to operator confusion when evaluating patients and a delay in appropriate treatment. This is a downstream recall of Trividia Health Class I, Recall Event ID 98317.

The non-tamperproof battery door supplied with the sound processor fails to conform to IEC 60601-1-11:2015 by not requiring the use of a tool to replace the button/coin cell battery.

Cyber vulnerability of BLE communication was found by CISA VDP program.
