For over a year, the Accessory Packages in the Hyfrecator 2000 ESU cartons were packaged in error by the manufacturer with non-sterile P/N 7-796-19 Handpiece Sheaths in pouches that were labeled as Sterile. This could cause an end user to use a non-sterile sheath as if it were Sterile.

Metal shavings released from burs during use are due to contact between the bur and the hood of the PreBent Bur assembly. During the manufacturing process an assembly error occurred which caused inadvertent mixing of two sizes of bearings.

Miscalibration of the Energy Source monitoring function, which may incorrectly sense the handpiece temperature as higher than the actual handpiece's temperature. This causes some devices to generate a "Check Seal" message with an audible alarm and to stop the heating cycle.

Probe programming error. The incorrect program can generate more heat at the surgical site, resulting in an elevated probability of tissue damage.

Philips Healthcare made changes to the design of the connection between multifunction electrodes and their HeartStart FR3 and HeartStart FRx AEDs. The failure to connect may result in a delay of therapy, which could result in patient death or serious injury.

ConMed Corporation has received complaints regarding sparking, no output and burning at the cord set connection. The complaints have been confirmed by ConMed.

ConMed Corporation initiated an Urgent Medical Device Correction for Altrus Thermal Tissue Fusion Handpieces due to risk of burns.

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.

Product manufactured after 4/11/2008, but before 8/01/2009, contains the earlier Instructions For Use, IFU (PN 17416, Rev. D) which does not contain the revisions on the addition of Warning Notes 10 and 11 and the expansion of Warning Note 6 to the VCare Instructions for Use. The reason for the field correction is to provide a copy of the revised IFU to all customers who may have unexpired Vcare
