Recall Details
- Company:
- Terumo Cardiovascular Systems Corporation
- Reason for Recall:
- Terumo Cardiovascular Systems Corporation has received complaints indicating that the Sarns Centrifugal Pump (disposable pump heads) have exhibited leaks. The leaks were detected during priming of the bypass circuit and during CPB procedures. In each of the reported incidents, there were no reports of patient injury as a result of the centrifugal pump leaks. Terumo Cardiovascular System's investigation into the incident has identified the cause of the leaks to be cracks in both the Top Housing and Magnet Back Housing of the pump. When the cracks cause the housing to become compromised, it is possible for fluid to leak from the pump head.
- Classification:
- Class I - Dangerous
Dangerous or defective products that predictably could cause serious health problems or death.
- Status:
- terminated

Due to an error in assembly of the thermistor within some units, the affected probes will experience inaccuracy in measured shunt sensor temperature. Additionally, following changes in patient temperature without an in vivo recalibration, affected probes may experience inaccuracy in other measured parameters, including pCO2, pO2, pH, Potassium and calculated parameters, including BE, Bicarbonate, Arterial Oxygen Saturation, Delivered Oxygen, Area Under of the Curve of Delivered Oxygen, Oxygen Consumption, and Oxygen Extraction Ratio, which utilize temperature as an input. Inaccurate data may lead to inappropriate user response.

During some clinical cases, it has been observed that the SO2 value may periodically appear as dashes on the Touchscreen Display indicating unavailable data. In these cases, a yellow low-limit alarm will also be triggered to the user, due to the dashed-out value.
Pressure relief valve included in certain lots of cardiovascular procedure kits was reportedly opening at approximately 200-300mmHg versus 400mmHg, potential myocardial tissue damage potentially requiring surgical or medical/pharmacological intervention
