Leica Microsystems Recalls

Hazard: There is a potential issue resulting in the Power Supply potentially becoming overheated due to internal components overstressing. Consequently, due to the overstressing of the internal components, one specific component can fail which will cause the device to unexpectedly shutdown.

Hazard: During internal testing, Leica Microsystems has become aware of a component change on the photodiodes inside the M530 Optics Carrier which will result in an inaccurate adjustment of the illumination limits by the software of the surgical microscope when "BrightCare Plus" with Luxmeter is used.

Hazard: In May 2021, Leica Microsystems received one (1) complaint pertaining to the M220 F12 Surgical Microscope system. There was no patient injury reported for this complaint. However, the identified defect carries some potential injury risk. In the event that this defect may occur, the M220 optics carrier may unintentionally drop into the surgical field, risking contact with the patient.

Hazard: Product may not perform as specified in IFU.

Hazard: Possible unintended interruption of surgical procedures due to equipment shutdown, related to changes in voltage.

Hazard: BOND Polymer Refine Detection kits (DS9800) were held out of refrigerated storage longer than specified which may exhibit suboptimal staining.

Hazard: The current labelling does not include any specific warning about usage of flammable freezing sprays. Such flammable freezing sprays can potentially ignite and can cause serious injuries.

Hazard: The observed issues can lead to unexpected interruptions of the optics carrier focus drive movement, intermittent stops of the X-Y coupling movement or sporadic failures in the proper on-screen display functionality of the HDR recording unit. Additionally, an anomaly in the device software may also lead to the unexpected behavior that when a user releases a handle or foot switch button this may not immediately end the actuated functionality. This behavior can only occur in unlikely workflows where a user changes a user profile or a mode change is initiated at the same time as a functional button is activated.

Hazard: The M220 optics may unintentionally drop into the surgical field, risking contact with the patient.

Hazard: The power supply unit for the printer used with the device can potentially overheat or cause a fire hazard because it could contain an improperly-mixed phosphorus compound.

Hazard: These devices have an incorrect specification against safety standard ISO61010-1. Should a single fault error occur, a mains wire can contact a metal plate which is accessible to the user. This could lead to mains power on the metal plate resulting in hazardous voltage to the user.

Hazard: Product was assembled with an isolating fiberglass hose within the oven in the wrong position. This results in improper shielding from potential electrical shock.

Hazard: The firm received complaints that the instrument tipped over when the swing arm was fully extended.

Hazard: Recall is due to a design weakness of the power insert module.

Hazard: Possible failure of screws which hold the gas spring fixation bracket in place. Due to this failure, the gas spring, which is fixed to the upper part of the parallelogram, cannot hold up the weight of the optics carrier.

Hazard: Incorrect labeling for specified voltage for the Alarm Connectors on the rear side of the unit.

Hazard: Testing of retained units indicated that Lot numbers of CDX2 indicated are not stable up to the expiry date on the product labeling.

Hazard: Testing of retained units indicated that Lot numbers of CDX2 and RCC indicated are not stable up to the expiry date on the product labeling.

Hazard: Novocastra Liquid Mouse Monoclonal Antibody Calretinin when used in combination with specific Lots of antibody diluent will give reduced staining.

Hazard: An electronic component of the Leica M525 OH4 and Leica M720 OH5 surgical microscopes with 400W illumination could potentially overheat, resulting in smoke and smell emanating from the ventilation openings of the illumination units located opposite and away from the surgeon / patient side of the surgical microscope.

Hazard: The Bond" Polymer Refine Detection and Novolink" Polymer Detection System may not provide adequate staining when using a detection protocol where one of its components - Peroxide Block / Peroxidase Block is applied after the primary marker incubation as specified in the Instructions for Use Following the Instructions for Use.

Hazard: The Firm informed the importer/distributor, Leica Microsystems, a manufacturing error occurred during the filling of some containers of the Bond Polymer Refine Red Detection DS9390 kits, which may result in inadequate staining.

Hazard: These Lot numbers are not stable up to the expiry date on the product labeling.

Hazard: The ASP6025 Tissue Processor instrument is incorrectly getting into a state of bottle empty during retort filling, after passing the fill lever sensor 2 and prior to reaching level sensor 3, thus not completing a 5 litre fill.

Hazard: The Leica ASP200S/ASP300S Tissue Processor have an incorrect internal wiring to the remote alarm plug, which can cause the remote alarm to not function correctly in the case of an instrument failure.
