    This batch is being recalled as it was formulated with an excess of water, diluting the product outside the design specification. the batch met all of the release specifications, including mouse embryo assay; however, the effect of this dilution is a loss of viscosity, and creation of a hypo-osmotic environment for the sperm. this may make it difficult for the embryologist to capture the sperm, and may lead to swelling of the sperm tail.

    An anomaly has been identified with the varisource ix control software. in the event a forced logoff occurs while the dummy wire is extended during a treatment session, the partial fraction generated by the system will be incorrect. the control software does not differentiate the re-start dummy sweep from the dummy sweep at the beginning of the treatment session. the control software assumes no treatment has been delivered. the partial fraction generated will be equivalent to the original full fraction. if this partial fraction is treated, this would result in re-treatment of any dwell positions actually delivered prior to the session interrupt and result in a dose greater than intended. the treatment recovery report will incorrectly indicate that no dwell positions have been treated. both the treatment delivery report and the treatment history report do correctly indicate the dwell positions treated.There have been no reports of patient injury due to this issue.

    1) in version 5.10.01, the isodose control 100% isodose value (second in the list) was linked to the dose normalisation (dn) value so users would always have a known normalisation value linked to 100% when in relative mode. when the 100% isodose value is edited on the isodose control, the dn is automatically updated. if the user does not notice this update & then rescales to a relative isoline & does not read the dn value displayed on the rescale bar, the rescale could be other than intended. 2) in version 5.10.00 or greater, when the user optimises, then changes the bolus assignment of the beams, and then selects “calculate” (not “optimize” again), the bolus assignment to beams can get scrambled. beams that should have bolus assigned do not and beams that do not have bolus assigned calculate with bolus. the dose distribution and monitor units are incorrect. skin doses could either be higher of lower than intended and this increase or decrease in dose could exceed 5%.
  • Acción
    1) The workaround is to only assign one value greater than 100% as the system is defaulted so the 100% isodose line and dose normalisation values are not affected. When rescaling, the dose normalisation value is displayed next to the re-scale value being entered by the user. 2) There is no workaround using the described workflow. However, the problem can be avoided by changing any bolus assignment before optimisation. Both problems will be resolved in Monaco Patch Release 5.10.02.

  • Causa
    Welch allyn has been made aware that the kleenspec 788 corded illuminator has the potential to be incorrectly connected to a commonly available ac power cord instead of the illuminator low voltage transformer power cord. this may result in a shattered lamp and a potential electric shock hazard. commonly available ac line power cords do not have an integrated wall transformer and therefore, the electrical current from the outlet is fully transferred into the device. there have been no associated injuries, but the misconnection can be reproduced. for example, the illuminator cord connector may fit into ac power cords from common consumer equipment, such as laptops, and other medical devices that have similar power cord connector.
  • Acción
    Welch Allyn is providing users with additional labelling to place on the cords to remind users to only connect the Illuminator with the corresponding corded wall transformer. This action has been closed-out on 22/08/2016.

    Internal investigations by roche diagnostics have uncovered the potential for incorrect slide staining (ihc/ish) to occur on the benchmark ultra instrument or discovery ultra instrument running ventana system software (vss) 11.9 or higher, due to the possibility of a duplicate keycode error. the embedded software for the barcode reader has an identified issue, which on presentation of this error may result in two slides erroneously receiving the same stain protocol regardless of what should have been indicated in the software for that keycode. the barcode reader fails to purge previously read barcode information and applies the same protocol details to a subsequent slide.
  • Acción
    Roche is advising users to use same-slide controls as per the package insert and review run reports at the end of each run to ensure the intended staining protocol was used on each slide. Additionally, ensure each host has an adequate keycode range allocated. Roche will be performing a software upgrade as a permanent correction. This action has been closed-out on 26/08/2016.

    As a follow-up to the previous communication in 2014 (tga ref: rc-2014-rn-00774-1), physio-control is correcting a software malfunction that may contribute to defibrillator batteries not being replaced when required.Physio-control australia has become aware of incidents where customers have attempted to use their lifepak 1000 defibrillator and the device has shut down unexpectedly due to a very low battery. a defibrillator in this scenario has the potential to fail to deliver a shock and deliver therapy.The operating instructions provided with the device may be confusing to some customers, which has contributed to customers not replacing their battery when required. also, a software malfunction in the lifepak 1000 defibrillator that also contributes to some customers not replacing their battery when required. this results in the readiness display indicating a low battery charge when it should indicate a very low battery charge.
  • Acción
    Physio-Control will be implementing a software update in all affected devices over the next year. Updates to customer devices will be prioritised based on the age of the devices as well as the feedback provided in the response to the confirmation sheet attached with the customer letter. In the interim, customers are advised that it is critically important to understand what the device and battery indicators mean on the defibrillator and what actions needs to be undertaken. At any time the battery charge can be verified by the instructions provided in the Operating Instructions. Batteries that are at both low battery charge and very low battery charge must be replaced with a fully charged battery, whether or not the OK symbol is present.
