Plain-English summary
Maquet Cardiovascular US Sales, LLC is recalling the HCU 30 Heater-Cooler Unit (HCU) Type 2. This medical device is intended to circulate water through heat exchange circuits to warm or cool a patient during short-duration cardiopulmonary bypass procedures lasting six hours or less. The recall involves 100 units distributed nationwide in the United States.
The recall is due to a failure of the Type 2 power supply board. A voltage drop of more than 10% can cause the R56 thermistor on the power supply board to overheat and fail. This failure typically occurs when the compressor is switched on prior to patient use, but it can also occur during patient use. The failure can result in the shutdown of the compressor or the entire HCU 30 Type 2 unit.
Affected units include the HCU 30 Base Unit 100 (120 V), HCU 30 Base Unit 200 (240 V), and HCU 30 Base Unit Canadian/US. Specifically, the recall covers units with serial numbers less than 93101480 and power supply boards with serial numbers less than 107006001. Healthcare facilities should contact Maquet Cardiovascular US Sales, LLC for instructions on how to proceed with the recall.
