CardioQuip Modular Cooler-Heater Devices Recalled for Missing Maintenance Guidance

CardioQuip is recalling 1,478 Modular Cooler-Heater devices because the labeling does not include proper water-quality maintenance and device inspection guidance.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: This is a risk-of-harm medical device where proper water-quality maintenance is critical for safe operation. The labeling deficiency creates potential for device failure or contamination if users cannot access proper maintenance and inspection guidance. Although no illnesses or injuries have been reported, the absence of critical maintenance information on a Class II medical device poses a significant risk of harm.
