FDA (Devices) recall action 91775
The FDA (Devices) publishes a recall like this one as 3 separate product records. They share a firm, a date and a cause; this page is all of them in one place, so the scale of the action is visible rather than spread across 3 pages.
Some Capiox NX, RX and FX Oxygenators may contain an arterial thermistor component that is improperly bonded to the oxygenator port. This may result in a leak at the point where the arterial thermistor is improperly bonded to the oxygenator port.
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.
Terumo Cardiovascular Systems is recalling 4,940 CAPIOX FX25 oxygenators because an arterial thermistor component may be improperly bonded to the oxygenator port, potentially causing leaks.
