    HemoCue Hb 201 Microcuvettes, carton/4 boxes/25 pouches of Microcuvettes, HemoCue AB Angelholm, Sweden

    HemoCue AB has become aware of a production related problem involving punctured HemoCue Hb 201 Microcuvettes single pack pouches.

  • 2011-03-31TerminatedOther

    HGBPROKIT which contains one meter and one container of 25 test strips. HGB TEST 100; HGB PRO TEST STRIPS -100, includes four containers of 25 test strips per container; International Technidyne Corporation The Hgb Pro Professional Hemoglobin Testing System Consists of a portable battery operated meter and single-use test strips for the quantitative measurement of total hemoglobin from capillary and venous whole blood. The Hgb Pro Professional Hemoglobin Testing System is designed for near patient testing in a professional facility and is not intended for home use.

    ITC has determined that results obtained using certain lots of Hgb Pro Professional Hemoglobin Test Strips may differ from results obtained using a reference hemoglobin testing system.

  • 2011-03-30TerminatedProcess control

    HEMOCUE AB Hb 201 DM ANALYZER, in vitro diagnostic device for quantitative hemoglobin determination.

    Incorrect configurations settings in software. As a result, certain error codes do not trigger appropriately. These error codes are: E01, E02 and E05 which are all related to the optronic performance of the analyzer. Possible incorrect results.

  • TerminatedNonconforming Material/Component

    Stanbio AC power adapter for the HemoPoint H2 meter, Model G3000 series. The firm name on the label for the HemoPoint H2 shows Manufactured by EKF-diagnostic GmbH, Germany.

    The US prong (type A) adapter plate may crack, break, or detach and remain in the electrical outlet exposing live electrical contacts.

  • TerminatedDevice Design

    RAPIDPoint 405 Blood Gas Analyzer; 10282093, 10310464, 10314817, 10317193, 10318999, 10320055, 10321238, 10322347, 10328278, 10328302, 10336784 Device is point-of-care system for comprehensive lab-quality testing to patient's bedside. Test menu includes blood gas, electrolytes, glucose, hematocrit, neonatal total bilirubin and full CO-oximetry from a single sample.

    Therapeutic levels (1mg/mL and 2mg/mL) of Hydroxocobalamin may interfere with tHb and some of the CO-Ox fractions that are reported on the RAPIDPoint and RAPIDLab Blood Gas systems indicated. This may cause lower than expected values for carboxyhemoglobin (fCOHb) and methemoglobin (fMetHb). A negative interference with fCOHb has the potential to alter the medical assessment of the patient and may withhold necessary follow-up treatment and/or initiate cessation of medication in response to elevated fMetHb levels.

  • TerminatedDevice Design

    RAPIDPoint 500 Blood Gas Analyzer; 10492730, 1069855, 10696857, 10697306 Device is point-of-care system for comprehensive lab-quality testing to patient's bedside. Test menu includes blood gas, electrolytes, glucose, lactate, neonatal total bilirubin and full CO-oximetry including total hemoglobin.

    Therapeutic levels (1mg/mL and 2mg/mL) of Hydroxocobalamin may interfere with tHb and some of the CO-Ox fractions that are reported on the RAPIDPoint and RAPIDLab Blood Gas systems indicated. This may cause lower than expected values for carboxyhemoglobin (fCOHb) and methemoglobin (fMetHb). A negative interference with fCOHb has the potential to alter the medical assessment of the patient and may withhold necessary follow-up treatment and/or initiate cessation of medication in response to elevated fMetHb levels.
