  Ad-Tech Electrode Connection System/Cables. Lightweight TECH-ATTACH Cable Models: 1. L-DCL-4DINX (4 contacts: 1 terminal block with 4 connectors each); 2. L-DCL-6DINX (6 contacts: 1 terminal block with 6 connectors each); 3. L-DCL-8DINX (8 contacts: 1 terminal block with 8 connectors each); 4. L-DCL-16BDINX (16 contacts: 1 terminal block with 16 connectors each); 5. L-DCL-32BDINX (32 contacts: 2 terminal blocks with 16 connectors each); 6. L-DCL-64BDINX (64 contacts: 4 terminal blocks with 16 connectors each). FO TECH-ATTACH Connection Cable model FO-LDC-4DINX (4 contacts: 1 terminal block with 4 connectors each). Tech-Attach: these cables require the use of an additional component - the connector block. The tail of the electrode is inserted into the block and the block in turn mates with the cable. A key-pin is used to ensure proper orientation. The cable terminated in EEG compatible connector sockets. Lightweight CABRIO Cable, model L-SRL-64BDINX (64 contacts: 4 terminal blocks with 16 connectors each). Cabrio cables are similar to Tech-Attach cables except that the block portion is pre-attached. The tail of an electrode is inserted into this portion which then hinges shut.

  Ad-Tech is recalling unopened/unused sterile cables intended to be used only with all compatible Ad-Tech electrodes for the purpose of connecting these electrodes to third party monitors/stimulators. This recall has been initiated due to package failures (i.e. compromised sterile barriers) that were identified during the execution of a shipping simulation investigation.

  Supreme Electrophysiology Extension Cable, REF 401984, For use with Hexapolar Catheters, Sterile EO, Rx only, St Jude Medical, 14901 DeVeau Place, Minnetonka, MN 55345. Supreme Electrophysiology Extension Cable used to connect Electrophysiology catheters to external diagnostic or therapeutic equipment. The section indexing connector located a t the distal end of the cable will only connect to SMJ Electrophysiology catheters.

  St. Jude Medical is recalling a single lot (3334664) of Supreme Electrophysiology Extension Cable which were packaged with a Quadripolar cable instead of a hexapolar Cable. St. Jude Medical has determined that the incorrectly labeled product poses no safety risk since the extension cable can be safely used with a corresponding Quadripolar catheter but cannot be incorrectly connected to a Hexapolar catheter.

  HealthPort BioAnologics Patient Electrode Sensor Test Kit, Part # SEN-0025-0, 25 kits/carton Each kit contains 100 tab electrodes and 26 alcohol pads. The electrodes are used to measure bodyfat analysis. The alcohol pads (non-sterile) are used for cleaning the skin to help the electrodes adhere better. There are no instructions for use with the kit.

  Vermed kits contain a product component (Triad Alcohol Prep Pads) recalled due to potential Bacillus cereus contamination.

  SteriMed, Inc is conducting a product removal of a small group of devices individually packaged and sealed within a pouch. The removal is being conducted because the possibility exists that some of the pouches were not properly sealed on one end. A breach in packaging seal or a failure in packaging integrity has the possibility of risk to the patient in terms of transmitting organisms capable
