The following is condensed list of medical devices involved in recalls listed by the FDA Enforcement Report as of December 30, 2009:

CLASS II

PRODUCT: Revolution XR/d system control room PC model 5117866-2 with Software collector 5115434. Recall # Z-0002-2009
MANUFACTURER: GE Medical Systems, LLC, Waukesha, WI, by letter dated March 7, 2008. Firm initiated recall is ongoing.
REASON: GE Healthcare has recently become aware of a potential risk of observing a blank image after exposure on Revolution XR/d systems equipped with HP 8200 PC user consoles that may impact patient safety. It was reported that images acquired with off-center collimation for extremities with the position selected as Digits to front or Digits to back are displayed as blank. Investigation into this issue revealed an error in the Revolution XR/d image processing software that controls rotation of collimator coordinates. This error causes the system to display a blank image when Digits to front or Digits to back are selected for off-center collimation exams.

MANUFACTURER: Recalling Firm: BioSense Webster, Inc., Chihuahua, Mexico, by letter on October 6, 2008. Manufacturer: BioSense Webster, Inc., Irwindale, CA. Firm initiated recall is complete.
REASON: Biosense Webster reported that one of the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) components used in the NAVISTAR (R) RMT Catheters, may cause the ablation catheter icon to shift on the map viewer when RF energy is being applied. The icon then returns to the correct position after the RF application is stopped. However, this movement is only observed on the map viewer and there is no actual movement of the catheter tip. Testing indicates that for shifts of less than approximately 25mm, there is no display of an error message or any other indication that the CARTO RMT System/catheter is malfunctioning and therefore, the user, attempting a linear ablation in the location displayed on the CARTO RMT screen, may ultimately apply RF energy to an unintended locations. This would only be applicable for lesions being created during a linear ablation and would not apply to a focal lesion ablation since the icon returns to the true position between RF applications and location is typically verified using the ECG. This condition does not impact any other ancillary visualization equipment. A shift in the ablation catheter icon can be detected by paying close attention to the location of the ablation catheter icon on the map viewer when applying RF energy. Consistent with the CARTO (R) RMT System manual, it is also recommended to check the position of the catheter by observing the electrograms prior to applying RF energy.

PRODUCT:
HeartMate 12 volt sealed lead acid Battery Clips that are components of the HeartMate II LVAS (PMA P060040) and the HeartMate XVE LVAS (PMA P920014) Systems. The HeartMate II and the HeartMate XVE LVAS are intended for use as a bridge to transplantation in cardiac transplant candidates at risk of imminent death from non-reversible left ventricular failure. The HeartMate XVE LVAS is also indicated for use in patients with New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class IIIB or IV end-stage left ventricular failure who have received optimal medical therapy for at least 45 of the last 60 days and who are not candidates for cardiac transplantation. The HeartMate II and XVE LVAS are intended for use both inside and outside the hospital, for transportation of Ventricular Assist Device (VAD) patients via ground ambulance, fixed-wing aircraft or helicopter. The devices consist of an implantable blood pump connected to an external System Controller by a percutaneous lead. The external controller is powered by AC electrical power, via the Power Module or Power Base Unit, or by battery power with a pair of rechargeable HeartMate batteries. Two batteries are used simultaneously for power. The LVAS is also designed to operate on a single battery, facilitating battery changes without interruption of VAD support. Recall # Z-0422-2010
MANUFACTURER: Thoratec, Corp., Pleasanton, CA, by letter dated October 14, 2009. Firm initiated recall is ongoing.

Biphasic LIFEPAK 15 Monitor/Defibrillator. The LIFEPAK 15 is a battery operated monitor with an external portable defibrillator used by healthcare providers in EMS, hospital and clinic settings. It operates in a manual or semi-automatic defibrillation mode and is offered with optional monitoring functions including Non-Invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP). When clinically indicated the LIFEPAK 15 allows the operator to deliver a brief, high energy, external shock through the chest to a patient's heart. Recall # Z-2110-2009
MANUFACTURER: Physio Control, Inc., Redmond, WA, by letter dated August 2009. Firm initiated recall is ongoing.
REASON: Some LIFEPAK 15 Monitor/Defibrillators have a Non-Invasive Blood Pressure (NIBP) module that was supplied by CAS Medical Systems, who is recalling the modules. The NIBP modules may be susceptible to sudden changes in cuff pressure. Sudden changes in cuff pressure may possibly be caused by bumping or squeezing the cuff. In some instances this may result in a screen display reading of "XXX" instead of a valid NlBP reading. If this happens, the NlBP function will be disabled until the device power is cycled off and back on. This issue does not impact delivery of defibrillation therapy or any other functions of the LIFEPAK 15 monitor/defibrillator.

MANUFACTURER: Recalling Firm: Medtronic Neuromodulation, Minneapolis, MN, by letter on August 14, 2009. Manufacturer: Medtronic Neuromodulation, Columbia Heights, MN. Firm initiated recall is ongoing.
REASON: Current labeling for Medtronic Sutureless Connector (SC) catheters and revision kits (hereafter referred to as SC catheters) incorrectly states that SC catheters are compatible with Medtronic IsoMed constant-flow infusion pumps. SC catheters are compatible with Medtronic SynchroMed II and SynchroMed EL pumps. Medtronic has determined that SC catheters are not compatible with IsoMed pumps. A physical interference between the SC catheter connector and the IsoMed pump prevents the SC catheter from completely connecting to the IsoMed pump even though it may appear to be connected and feel secure. This incompatibility is a design issue and is not related to implant technique. Incomplete connection may result in catheter disconnection from the IsoMed pump or an occlusion at the connection site which could lead to drug underdose, drug withdrawal or other clinically significant manifestations. Connection of an SC catheter to an IsoMed pump does not damage the IsoMed pump.

MANUFACTURER: Recalling Firm: Boston Scientific Corp., Maple Grove, MN, letter dated July 1, 2009. Manufacturer: Boston Scientific Corp., Spencer, IN. Firm initiated recall is ongoing.
REASON: The labeling on the device does not match the labeling on the product packaging. Specifically, the packaging pouch for the product and outer carton labeling reflect that the device is a Flexima Biliary Catheter, which is correct, but the heat shrink inscription directly below the hub on the device indicates that it is a Flexima Nephrostomy device. The most likely consequence that is reasonably expected to occur as a result of this labeling issue is a clinically insignificant delay of the procedure if the physician decides to use another product/catheter.

PRODUCT: GE Healthcare MUSE Cardiology Information Systems vs. 7.0, 7.0.1, 7.0.2, 7.1, 7.1.1. The MUSE Cardiology Information System is intended to store, access and manage cardiovascular information on adult and pediatric patients, Recall # Z-1719-2009
MANUFACTURER: Recalling Firm: GE Healthcare, Wauwatosa, WI, by letter dated October 13, 2008. Manufacturer: General Electric Medical Systems Information Technology, Milwaukee, WI. Firm initiated recall is ongoing.
REASON: GE Healthcare has become aware of an issue resulting from a workflow situation related to the automated labeling of patient data in the MUSE Cardiology Information System. When a prior record has been confirmed with an invalid (default) patient identifier (PID), MUSE will accept future records with the same default PID as correct. If subsequent records don not contain a name, MUSE will pre-populate the Name field with the same name associated with the initially confirmed record. This will lead to incorrect information contained in stored and printed records.


PRODUCT: GE Healthcare, CT Perfusion 4 on Advantage Workstation, CT and PET/CT consoles. Image analysis software package that allows the user to produce image data and to generate information with regard to changes in image intensity over time supporting CT Perfusion images, Recall # Z-1720-2009
MANUFACTURER: Recalling Firm: GE Medical Systems, LLC, Waukesha, WI, by letter dated October 23, 2009. Manufacturer: GE Medical Systems, SCS, Buc Cedex, France. Firm initiated recall is ongoing.
REASON: GE Healthcare has recently become aware of the need to adjust default settings associated with the use of CT Perfusion 4 on the Advantage Workstation, ST and PET/CT consoles that may impact patient safety. The default parameter settings in CT Perfusion 4 may not be optimal in the case of data acquired with longer time sampling intervals such as axial scans with inter scan delay (ISD) greater than 2 seconds of Volume Shuttle date. This can result in reduced conspicuity of subtle perfusion defects due to increased noise in these types of data sets.
