Reported Sep 23, 2026 · Z-3190-2026
Intravascular administration tubing set drip chambers may have black specks potentially due to the plastic molding process leaving discolored polyvinyl chloride (PVC) material within the drip chamber wall that does not enter the fluid path, which if seen by a healthcare provider may lead to replacement of product before use, which could result in a delay in therapy.
Reported Sep 23, 2026 · Z-3158-2026
The kits contain a Retrograde Coronary Sinus Perfusion (RCSP) cannulae that has the potential for a sterile barrier breach. Sterility of the product cannot be assured. If a compromised pouch seal is not identified prior to use and the cannula is used, there is a potential risk of infection or other complications associated with the use of a non-sterile device, including hemolysis, foreign body reaction, thromboembolism, and/or organ dysfunction.
Reported Sep 23, 2026 · Z-3137-2026
Intravascular administration tubing set drip chambers may have black specks potentially due to the plastic molding process leaving discolored polyvinyl chloride (PVC) material within the drip chamber wall. The presence of discoloration and particulate matter in the fluid path has not been ruled out.
Reported Sep 23, 2026 · Z-3160-2026
Extra small (ES) and Extra-large (XL) infant sleep sacks have not been reviewed for safety and effectiveness by the FDA.
Reported Sep 23, 2026 · Z-3175-2026
Under certain conditions historical imaging data migrated from a legacy system may become incorrectly associated with a different patient. If this occurs, studies or images may be displayed under the wrong patient record, which could lead to misdiagnosis or a delay in patient care.
Reported Sep 23, 2026 · Z-3169-2026
The potential for purge cassette recognition issues due to the failure of the purge flag component of the purge pressure sensor assembly.
Reported Sep 23, 2026 · Z-3148-2026
Potential for product quality and sterility issues regarding kits containing Sodium Chloride ampules subject to recall by Spectra Medical.
Reported Sep 23, 2026 · Z-3154-2026
A software synchronization/timing issue in the barcode scanning and patient data processing component that causes the device to intermittently retain a previously scanned barcode including patient identification (ID) barcodes and quality control (QC) solution ID barcodes when a new barcode is scanned, resulting in the prior barcode information remaining displayed on the screen for the current test. When this defect occurs and the operator accepts the incorrectly displayed patient information without recognizing the mismatch, the current patient's glucose result will be incorrectly assigned to the previous patient's medical record and transmitted to the data management system (DMS), and the current patient's medical record will not receive a result, leaving their glucose status unrecorded and their clinical management without the information needed to guide treatment decisions. The previous patient, whose medical record now contains a glucose result that does not belong to them, may receive inappropriate clinical intervention based on that erroneous result, particularly in critically ill patients, neonates, and infants who cannot communicate symptoms or self-treat. The defect also affects QC barcode scanning: if a QC scan triggers the same retention behavior, QC results may be attributed to an incorrect identifier or QC tests may fail without the user recognizing the underlying cause. This defect does not affect the analytical accuracy of glucose measurements.
