Sorin CP5 Centrifugal Pump Recalled for Delayed Air Bubble Detection Response

Sorin Group is recalling CP5 Centrifugal Pumps because the automatic line closure after air bubble detection may take longer than intended.

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: The recall involves a medical device with a potential failure in a safety mechanism (air bubble detection/line closure), which poses a risk of harm, but the source text does not report any specific injuries or illnesses, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Sorin Group Deutschland GmbH is recalling the CP5 Centrifugal Pump, which consists of a drive unit, emergency system, and pump control panel. The recall involves 1,318 units of Model No. 60-00-60. The device is used with an Electrical Remote-Controlled (ERC) tubing clamp and a bubble sensor.

The recall is due to a possibility that the automatic line closure by the ERC clamp after the detection of an air bubble could take longer than is intended by design. This delay in the safety mechanism's response time is the specific defect identified in the recall notice.

The affected units were distributed domestically and internationally to numerous countries, including the United States, Canada, and various nations in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Users of the CP5 Centrifugal Pump should contact Sorin Group Deutschland GmbH for instructions on how to proceed with the recall.
