Plain-English summary

Terumo Cardiovascular Systems Corporation is recalling 1,647 units of the 220/240V AC Advanced Perfusion System Platform (APS) System 1. The recall involves catalog number 801764 and all serial numbers. The devices are indicated for use in extracorporeal circulation of blood for arterial perfusion, regional perfusion, and cardiopulmonary bypass procedures.

The affected units were distributed worldwide, including nationwide distribution in the United States. Users should contact Terumo Cardiovascular Systems Corporation for further instructions on how to proceed with the recall.
