Why these products were recalled

Terumo Advanced Perfusion System 1 battery charge is being depleted faster than expected during periods of system shutdown. The System 1 may falsely indicate a longer battery life than actual battery time remaining if not subjected to regular use, such as would occur with a backup system. This may result in unexpected system shutdown. Prolonged battery depletion may cause permanent battery damage.

The agency’s own wording, quoted from the enforcement report.

The unit total adds up the quantities the agency stated for each product. Where a product record gave no figure, or gave a weight rather than a count, it contributes nothing — so the real total is at least this, never less.
