Plain-English summary
Cincinnati Sub-Zero Products LLC, a Gentherm Company, is recalling 396 units of the Hemotherm CE Dual Reservoir Cooler/Heater, Model No. 400CE. The device is used to control the temperature of water flowing through a blood oxygenator or heat exchanger during cardiopulmonary bypass procedures, or to provide warming through conductive heat transfer with a hyper/hypothermia blanket.
The recall was initiated because evidence supports that when customers performed a fuse replacement as part of a March 2017 field action, the fuse clips became stretched. This stretching caused the clips to no longer be mechanically tight with the fuse, creating a hot spot that led to discoloration on the board due to overheating and subsequent shutdown of the device.
The affected products were distributed worldwide, including nationwide in the United States in the states of AL, AZ, CA, CO, FL, GA, IL, IN, KY, LA, MA, MD, MI, MN, MO, NC, NJ, NY, OH, OK, PA, SC, TN, TX, VA, and WI, as well as in Columbia and Taiwan. The affected serial numbers range from 151-10283CE through 171-10721CE. Users should contact the manufacturer for instructions on how to proceed.
