Plain-English summary
Haemonetics Corporation is recalling the Japan Cell Saver Elite Set - 225ml. The recall involves 12,370 units distributed worldwide and across all US states. The product is used to recover and process blood shed during or after surgery or trauma for reinfusion into patients.
The recall is due to a potential defect where the inner core of the bowl may develop cracks. This defect can result in fluid being trapped inside the bowl core, which may trigger a long empty device error message and lead to incomplete washing of the processed blood. Specific lots 1118017 and 0718009 are identified as having bowl cracks, while all products manufactured between October 2014 and October 2019 are affected by missing instructions in the instructions for use (IFU) to check for cracks.
