Syringe filters Minisart NML / Ophthalsart - Urgent medical device recall
Sartorius Australia has identified syringe filters (Minisart NML / Ophthalsart) that may release fibres and particles into the filtrate which may lead to foreign body reactions, immunological responses as well as pulmonary or cerebral microembolism and thrombosis.
Customers with potential affected Minisart NML / Ophthalsart are advised to destroy all remaining stock from the affected batches.

Magnus 1180 Operating Table Column - Urgent medical device defect correction
Getinge have found that under certain conditions the operating table may develop a hydraulic leakage at the inclination function. This leakage leads to an unintended Trendelenburg or anti-Trendelenburg movement of the table top which has resulted in patients being transferred to another O.R. table and prolonged the procedure.
