Cardiac Cooler-Heater Device Lacks Maintenance and Inspection Guidance
CardioQuip is recalling its Modular Cooler-Heater device because labeling omits proper guidance for water-quality maintenance and device inspection, affecting users' ability to maintain the device correctly.
What this means for you
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: This is an FDA Class II recall driven by missing maintenance and inspection guidance in product labeling. No illnesses, injuries, or deaths have been reported. The hazard is a labeling deficiency rather than a device malfunction.
