Confirmed customer complaints indicating that GEM PAKs (cartridges) for the GEM Premier 5000 may experience an increased incidence of Process Control Solution Not Detected (PCSND) errors during warm-up, including consecutive occurrences, resulting in GEM PAK ejection and requiring insertion of a new GEM PAK. iQM2 is an active quality process control program designed to provide continuous monitoring of the entire testing process. Thus, if a GEM PAK completes AutoPAK Validation following warm-up, it may remain in use. Consecutive GEM PAK ejections during warm-up may prolong turnaround times, potentially delaying results. In such cases, patient management may require reassessment once results are available. While many GEM PAKs continue to perform as intended, consecutive ejections may increase the likelihood of operational disruption, highlighting the importance of advance planning where feasible to help minimize impact.

Recall of kits which utilized ChloraPrep Triple Swabsticks from BD. Open or compromised seals on the sterile swabstick packaging, which could result in loss of sterility or drying of the antiseptic solution. This component is placed outside of the sterile barrier of the tray manufactured by Boston Scientific, which contains the majority of the kit components. As such, inclusion of the affected ChloraPrep Triple Swabsticks does not degrade the integrity of the other components within the PEG kit.
