Hologic Recalls

Hazard: Complaints have been received of systems developing loose, missing, or broken internal bolts over time.

Hazard: Complaints have been received of systems developing loose, missing, or broken internal bolts over time.

Hazard: It was identified that certain devices were being operated outside the validated and FDA-cleared display configuration due to user modification of the manufacturer-installed settings. Modifications included disabling Barco Application Appearance Manager (AAM), altering calibration and compliance parameters, and adjusting additional display-related settings. This field correction is being conducted to restore affected system to the validated configuration and reinforce proper use in accordance with the Operator's Manual.

Hazard: Due to product exhibiting potential to generate either invalid or false negative results.

Hazard: Presence of particulates in affected devices that can be deposited into breast tissue during use.

Hazard: Fungal contamination of affected lot with Parengyodontium album.

Hazard: Devices presented a condition in which the inner needle separated from the hub and produced a longer throw of the inner needle or dislodgement.

Hazard: Three lots of Rapid fFN Specimen Collection kit (901164, 901165, and 904850) contain Rapid fFN Specimen Collection Tubes which may be empty, underfilled, or overfilled with extraction buffer. The transport tubes are used with the Fetal Fibronectin Enzyme Immunoassay and Rapid fFN¿ for the TLiIQ¿ System which aids in assessing the risk of preterm delivery. The use of empty transport tubes or transport tubes containing insufficient extraction buffer volume may result in invalid results and/or delays in obtaining results. Additionally, the use of underfilled tubes may result in false positive results and the use of overfilled tubes may result in false negative results.

Hazard: Potential weak pouch seal on Panther Fusion GBS assay cartridge, causing potential for invalid or incorrect results leading to a possible delay of treatment.

Hazard: SARS-CoV-2/Flu A/B/RSV Assay Kit may erroneously produce SARS-CoV-2 false positive results.

Hazard: IFU was not provided with the Sizer Set sterilization tray Revised Sterilization Instructions for Sizer Set

Hazard: Firm received reports of adverse events/complications that include serious injuries, such as pain, infection, rash, device migration, device erosion, seroma, and discomfort.

Hazard: Identified an issue with Selenia Dimensions 1.12.0 and 3Dimensions 2.3.0 system software when used in combination with C-View software in which the quality of the final C-View synthesized 2D image is impacted and may appear blurry and result in misdiagnosis with the possibility being a false negative diagnosis

Hazard: Non-conformance pertains to electromagnetic compatibility requirements according to the international technical standard IEC 60601-1-2 for the safety and essential performance of medical electrical equipment, where the result from the Horizon DXA System exceeded the limit for acceptability.

Hazard: Safety Information: Complaints describe complications/adverse events that include pain, infection, rash, device migration, device erosion, seroma, discomfort, or other complications from feeling the device in the breast, and the need for additional medical treatment to remove the device

Hazard: Use of assay along with plasma specimen may result in error code which would invalidate sample.

Hazard: Due to potential false positive Flu B results when a sample was also SARS-CoV-2 positive.

Hazard: The inner needle of the Sertera device is either detaching or discharging and may cause delay in surgery

Hazard: C-Arm unexpected movement may cause blunt trauma should the tube arm impinge upon an individual

Hazard: Hologic BioZorb LP Marker, (Product number F0221), lot number 22A0RL, contained removable labels with an expiration date that indicated the product had already expired. The expiration date on the removable label is actually manufacturing date, and it's different from the one on the shelf box label, which is the correct expiration date.

Hazard: Samples, run on a GBS Assay, that have analyte concentrations that are at or near the limit of detection may produce false negative results.

Hazard: Failed stability specifications for reagent kits that may result in false negative test results.

Hazard: There is a potential for tube trays to leak which could potentially result in false positive results, false negative results or invalid patient results.

Hazard: Tube trays may leak which could invalidate patient results or assay worklists, causing delayed results for any assays with which they are used. A possibility exists of false negative result with flu A/B/RSV assay or paraflu assay.

Hazard: Reagent component included in flu test kit may cause both high background signal in a true negative sample leading to false positive and/or false negative results. This could result in false positive and/or false negative results on patient samples or failed controls leading to invalid runs. This could result in incorrect results being reported and a delay in treatment.

Hazard: The recalling firm has received reports from the field of the C-arm on the Selenia Dimensions system seizing or dropping during field repairs and cleaning of the systems.

Hazard: Calibration issue not possible to visualize contrast uptake in the subtracted mammography images

Hazard: Rapid fFN cassettes were manufactured with material (A137 ascites) from a new supplier (SDIX). The products were distributed to customers before FDA approved the change to use the material from SDIX.

Hazard: The Panther or the Panther Fusion glass panel separates from the 19 inch touch screen monitor and could potentially fall and hit an operator.
