Brand Name: ZOLL Product Name: Powerheart G5 AED Model/Catalog Number: (1) G5A-00A, (2) G5A-01A, (3) G5A-02A, (4) G5A-03A, (5) G5A-19A, (6) G5A-80A, (7) G5A-80A-TSO. Software Version: NA Product Description: The Powerheart G5 automated external defibrillator (AED) is designed for treating life-threatening heart beat irregularities, such as ventricular fibrillation, that cause Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA). There are two models available fully automatic and semi-automatic. After the defibrillations pads are applied to the patient, the fully automatic model evaluates the heart rhythm and, if a shockable rhythm is detected, delivers a shock without any rescuer assistance. The semi-automatic model evaluates the heart rhythm and requires the rescuer to press the shock button if a shockable rhythm is detected. Both models have voice and text instructions that guide the rescuer through the entire defibrillation process. Note: Not all configurations described in this document are available in all areas.

Reason: The potential for devices to fail their self-test as a result of prolonged exposure to extreme environments (temperature and/or humidity).

Root cause: Unknown/Undetermined by firm

Brand Name: Da Vinci 5 Product Name: ASSY,DV5 CONSOLE,IS5000 Foot Tray Pedals Model/Catalog Number: 380730 Software Version: N/A . Refer to HHE for additional details. Component: N/A

Reason: Due to an increase in complaints concerning foot tray pedal spring failing resulting in the pedal remaining pressed

Root cause: Device Design

DxI 9000 Access Immunoassay Analyzer, Catalog Number C11137

Reason: The DxI 9000 Access Immunoassay Analyzer wash wheel mixer may not spin freely within the idler pulley housing. When the problem occurs, the analyzer may generate a system event for a Wash Wheel Dispense Arm Spin Mixer Error that is displayed on the navigation bar in the User Interface. The analyzer enters the red system status and will generate a SYS flag. The tests that are in progress may be cancelled and may cause a delay in reporting patient results

Root cause: Nonconforming Material/Component

Stryker CinchLock Flex Knotless Anchor with Inserter and Suture, REF CAT02643, Sterile EO, Rx Only MR Safe CE 0197

Reason: Increase in complaints concerning "pullwire" breakage that may result in the broken pullwire remaining in the anchor implant body after deployment.
