Products may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.

Failed Tablet/Capsule specifications: Red dots inside capsule and melted capsule caused by oxidized Icosapent ethyl, the active ingredient.

The potential for an implant with a plateau screw where the bushing could detach from the screw shaft due to a longitudinal fracture.

The device does not bear a unique device identifier.

Confirmed customer complaints indicating that GEM PAKs (cartridges) for the GEM Premier 5000 may experience an increased incidence of Process Control Solution Not Detected (PCSND) errors during warm-up, including consecutive occurrences, resulting in GEM PAK ejection and requiring insertion of a new GEM PAK. iQM2 is an active quality process control program designed to provide continuous monitoring of the entire testing process. Thus, if a GEM PAK completes AutoPAK Validation following warm-up, it may remain in use. Consecutive GEM PAK ejections during warm-up may prolong turnaround times, potentially delaying results. In such cases, patient management may require reassessment once results are available. While many GEM PAKs continue to perform as intended, consecutive ejections may increase the likelihood of operational disruption, highlighting the importance of advance planning where feasible to help minimize impact.

A delay in results may occur. When clinical chemistry analyzer calibration monitor with PC installed with Microsoft SQL Server 2022 Express is open beyond15 minutes may lead to: Reagent Blank and calibration databases not opening errors: CAL History DB Open Error.., RB History DB Open Error..; system will stop analyzing, firm service must visit to apply software solution; may lead to delay in diagnosis and/or patient treatment

The system labeling (user manual and online labeling) did not provide adequate directions for lay users to act on the E-5 error code. The error code description and recommended actions for the E-5 error code in the labeling do not: (a) clearly emphasize that an E-5 error code could represent a very high blood glucose level, and (b) prominently convey the appropriate immediate actions, such as contacting a healthcare professional. This could lead to a delay in treatment if the user does not seek medical attention immediately when receiving an E-5 error code and experiencing symptoms of high glucose.

Augmentation devices failed bacterial endotoxin testing.
