FDA issues serious recall for electric wheelchair joysticks

The Food and Drug Administration has identified a Class I recall for Mo-Vis BVBA R-net Joysticks due to a firmware error that causes the wheelchair to ignore its neutral setting and allows it to move unexpectedly. The FDA said there has been one reported injury and no deaths related to the issue. 
 
In addition, the FDA issued an early alert for certain Medline convenience kits containing Medtronic DLP Left Heart Vent Catheters due to issues found with certain lots of cannula products where the catheter may not retain its shape. Medline sent a notice to affected customers that recommended they destroy any affected product after completing the list of recall actions.
