Zeiss brand IOLMaster 500, Model 500, Biomicroscope, Slit-Lamp, AC-Powered, Product is manufactured by Carl Zeiss Meditec AG (Jena), Carl Zeiss Promenade 10, Jena, Germany 07745; and distributed by Carl Zeiss Meditec, Inc., Dublin, CA This device is intended for use primarily by physicians and health care workers and may be only used under the supervision of a physician. This device will not be sold to the general public. The IOLMaster is intended for the biometric determination of ocular measurements of axial length, anterior chamber depth, corneal radius, white-to white (WTW), and for the measurement of pupil size and deviation of the visual axis from the center of the pupil. For patients who are candidates for intraocular lens (IOL) implantation, the device also performs calculations to assist physicians in determining the appropriate IOL power and type for implantation Class II

Reason: The user database delivered for download contained an erroneous value. Specifically the "aO" constant of the lens AMO Sensar AR40E is listed as "0.0" in the internal lens database of the IOLMaster. The correct value is -2.420. This could lead to the implantation of lens with a wrong diopter value.

ALTRUS¿ THERMAL TISSUE FUSION, Tissue Fusion Handpiece, 5 mm O.D., 36 cm Shaft, REF 60-9522-001, STERILE -- CONMED CORPORATION 525 FRENCH RD, UTICA, NY 13502 --- The ConMed Altrus¿ Thermal Tissue Fusion System is comprised of a dedicated energy source and disposable handpiece used to ligate (seal) and divide (cut) blood vessels and tissue bundles that fit into the jaws of the handpiece. The Altrus¿ System utilizes a thermal energy platform to achieve the desired clinical effect. The ConMed Altrus¿ Thermal Tissue Fusion handpiece is a single use device which is provided sterile. The device uses scissors to parallel jaw closure mechanism with one flat jaw and one crowned jaw in which the vessels/tissues are grasped and through which pressure and heat are applied. It is a multi-functional device capable of vessel sealing, grasping and dissecting during open general surgical procedures. The two jaw sizes allow for applications in a variety of clinical environments for access in confined areas as well as large open areas. Class II

Reason: The affected lots were exposed to a higher than acceptable level of particulate matter during manufacture and subsequently distributed. ConMed evaluated the potential risk that this issue could present to the patient and concluded the risk of injury to be negligible; however exposure could cause a minor, local, self correcting infection.

The Centricity Laboratory System is intended to be an information system designed to support the clinical and administrative activities associated with the provision and utilization of clinical laboratory services and facilities, e.g., the storing and delivering of analytical results. It is a specially designed data program application (software), which is supplied for installation in existing mainframe or decentralized computers or a computer network. This software system will not be the software directly used to run, steer, or control any specific laboratory analyzer or equipment. It is intended for use in laboratory facilities, including a central laboratory or in a multiple laboratory environment servicing satellite laboratories, reference laboratories, clinics, etc. Centricity Laboratory System is not intended for direct patient contact. The Centricity Laboratory System product is designed to facilitate the general clinical, anatomic pathology and cytology laboratory workflow such as order entry, results entry, instrument interfacing, results reporting and patient record retrieval. It integrates with other Hospital Information Systems (HIS) through HL7 interface by order entering and also report processing. The Centricity Laboratory System is intended to interface with various lab results. Centricity Laboratory System is intended to be used by laboratory technologists, technicians, analyst and other trained/site authorized system users Class II

Reason: GE Healthcare has become aware of a potential safety issue associated with the use of GE Centricity Laboratory where panel reflex does not occur if DIP.Specimen is blank. Panel reflexing fails to occur when ad-hoc re-routing functionality is used and the following are true: 1) The ordered panel is a slave panel, and; 2) The panitem specimen group field of one or more of the ordered items on the ma
