MANUFACTURER: Smiths Medical MD, Inc., Saint Paul, MN, by telephone
beginning December 18, 2008 through January 2009 and by letter dated
December 22, 2008. Firm initiated recall is ongoing.
REASON: An increased trend in reports of keypad issues which have
occurred during implementation or shortly after first being placed into
use. These issues may render the Pump inoperable or the Pump may not
respond to certain keypad button presses. These issues can be
intermittent. Smiths Medical has not received any reports of patient
injuries. Our investigations to date have concluded that this keypad
issue is associated with short circuits in the keypad as a result of a
change in manufacturing of the keypad connectors (the connectors connect
the keypad to other electronics in the Pump). The changes in
manufacturing have created a condition which appears to allow short
circuits within the connector when buttons on the keypad are activated.
Not all Pumps exhibit these issues.

Label: Medtronic 1-4500-2A, Recommended maximum blood flow range 5.0 -
8.5 L/min, Sterilized Using Ethylene Oxide, REF 61399402655. Surgical
Membrane Oxygenators are intended to be used in an extracorporeal
perfusion circuit to oxygenate and remove carbon dioxide from the blood
during routine cardiopulmonary bypass procedures. Additionally, the
Integral Membrane Oxygenators are intended to cool and warm the blood by
means of the integral heat exchange. Recall # Z-0975-2009
MANUFACTURER: Recalling Firm: Medtronic, Inc., Minneapolis , MN , by
letter dated October 17, 2008. Manufacturer: Medtronic Cardiovascular
Revascularization & Surgical Therap, Brooklyn Park , MN . Firm initiated
recall is ongoing.
REASON: Medtronic has identified an issue with the labeling of the
I-4500 Silicone Oxygenators (P/N 61399402655). Lot numbers of this
oxygenator manufactured between August 2007 and September 2008 have an
incorrect "Recommended maximum blood flow range" on the label. The label
on the device states a range of 5.0 - 8.5 L/min but should state a range
of 5.0 - 6.5 L/min. These oxygenators are acceptable to use at flow
rates between 5.0 - 6.5 L/min. In the unlikely event that this device
was actually run to 8.5 L/min, the primary patient harm would be high
pressure drop across the device, causing hemolysis and potential
hematuria. This would be detected via monitors attached to the circuit
and the system would be slowed down to an acceptable level. O2 and CO2
transfer could also be impaired. Characterization testing was performed
on a device and this testing showed that the device still met the
performance requirements for O2 and CO2 transfer when being run at 8.5
L/min.

MANUFACTURER: Medtronic Neuromodulation, Minneapolis, MN, by letter
beginning August 25, 2008. Firm initiated recall is ongoing.
REASON: Medtronic issued a letter to healthcare professionals providing
important safety information regarding MRI (magnetic resonance imaging)
effects on SynchroMed EL and SynchroMed II implantable infusion pumps.
As stated in product labeling, the magnetic field of an MRI will
temporarily stop the rotor of the pump motor and suspend drug infusion
for the duration of MRI exposure for all SynchroMed pumps. The pump
should resume normal operation when removed from the MRI magnetic field,
however new information has been identified related to the following MRI
effects: 1) There is the potential for a delay in the return of proper
drug infusion after an MRI (this affects all SynchroMed pumps) and 2)
There is the potential for a delay in the logging of motor stall events
after an MRI (this only affects SynchroMed II pumps).

PRODUCT: TomoTherapy HI-ART Systems with versions 2.2.4,
3.1.2, 3.1.3 or 3.2.1 software. The affected applications include
Planning Station, Planned Adaptive, Data Management System, and
TomoPortal. TomoTherapy HI-ART Systems is intended to be used as an
integrated system for the planning and delivery of intensity modulated
radiation therapy (IMRT). The HI-ART System provides precise delivery of
radiation to tumors or other targeted tissues while minimizing the
delivery of radiation to vital health tissue. The HI-Art system's
planning station or operator station is intended to be used by the
physician/oncologists to prescribe a radiation therapy plan for a
particular patient,. The HI-ART System then calculates the treatment
plan which the physician reviews and approves. The HI-ART system's
operator station and status console is then intended to be used by the
therapist to select and implement the patient's treatment plan. The
treatment process will begin by performing a TomoImage (MVCT) scan (a CT
using the on board linear accelerator as the radiation source). This
TomoImage (MVCT) will confirm that the patient's position is correct for
the radiation therapy as well as assist in patient re-positioning when
necessary. The TomoImage (MVCT) image is not for diagnostic use. When
patient positioning is complete, the HI-ART System i sthen intended to
be used by the therapist to treat the patient using the selected
treatment plan. The HI-ART System delivers the radiation therapy,
stereotactic radiotherapy or stereotactic radiosurgery treatment in
accordance with the physician approved plan delivered in a helical
tomographic pattern. Recall # Z-0628-2009
MANUFACTURER: TomoTherapy, Inc., Madison, WI, by letter dated October
17, 2008. Firm initiated recall is ongoing.
REASON: A potential issue with the Hi-Art system during the course of
ongoing testing. The Operator Station Calibration panel provides access
to view and modify machine specific configuration settings. Access to
these settings has always been restricted to individuals with
appropriate security rights, being limited to only the "Superuser" and
"Field Service engineer" categories. Other security level users,
including "Therapist", cannot modify these settings. In the calibration
panel, it is possible for "Superuser" and "Field Service Engineer" user
types to manually disable the front and back jaw potentiometer
interlock. This interlock is always correctly enabled prior to factory
shipment of systems from TomoTherapy, and there are no service procedure
that requires the interlock to be disabled. If this setting were to be
manually disabled, the jaw would not perform a verification of the
pre-procedure homing routine. In the unlikely event that this
verification routine failed in a rare and very specific manner, the jaws
could position incorrectly for that procedure without a system interlock
occurring. This positioning error could only result in a field width
that is smaller than planned. Fractions that would be affected would
only be those incurring the unusual chain of events outlined above.
Regardless, overdose in not a possible outcome.
