Terumo CDI H/S Cuvette Recall Due to Connection Error

Terumo is recalling CDI H/S Cuvettes because they may fail to connect to the probe, causing the monitor to display an error and preventing blood parameter display.

What this means for you

Cosmetic or documentation issue. No expected health impact, but the manufacturer is correcting the affected products.

Our severity reasoning: The agency classified this as a Class III recall, which by definition is unlikely to cause adverse health consequences. The issue is a functional error preventing data display rather than a direct physical hazard.

Plain-English summary

Terumo Cardiovascular Systems Corporation is recalling approximately 140,000 units of CDI H/S Cuvettes. These medical devices are intended for use with a CDI monitor during cardiopulmonary bypass procedures to continuously monitor blood hematocrit and oxygen saturation. The recall covers units distributed nationwide in the United States and worldwide.

The recall was initiated after the company received complaints that the CDI System 500 monitor displays an "H/S DISCONNECT AT CUVETTE" error message when the CDI H/S Cuvette does not make a proper connection to the CDI H/S Probe. In these instances, blood parameter values for hematocrit (HCT), hemoglobin (Hgb), and oxygen saturation (SO2) do not display on the monitor.

Healthcare facilities should stop using the affected CDI H/S Cuvettes and contact Terumo Cardiovascular Systems Corporation for further instructions on the recall.
