Dermatologists increasingly rely on medical imaging modalities—especially but not solely ultrasound—to help diagnose complex and diverse skin disorders. 

Philips is recalling all sizes of its Tack Endovascular System after 20 patient injuries were reported. Interventional cardiologists are urged to stop using the device immediately. 

The American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association published the new guidelines with assistance from other leading U.S. medical societies. 

The recall impacts products from ROi, supplied by Mercury Medical. A defective spring can cause a controller to malfunction, resulting in poor ventilation. 

While there have been no reported deaths, certain lots of Olympus single-use guide sheath kits are to be quarantined immediately. 

Those involved plan to hire a community health worker and care navigator to help shepherd underserved patients through the screening process. 

The call to action comes from a poll of over 500 specialists at a single academic institution, published in the Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology.  

Users have identified risks related to patients falling from the Philips furniture products during transfer or position changes, the FDA said Friday.
