What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural defect in a critical medical device used during surgery that could lead to pump failure, meeting the criteria for a Severe (Score 4) classification due to the risk of significant injury.

Plain-English summary

Terumo Cardiovascular Systems Corporation is recalling 11 units of the Terumo Advanced Perfusion Assembly Pump Guts, 4 Inch, Catalog Number 801805. These medical 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 in the US states of Connecticut, Florida, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, and Texas, as well as in Hong Kong, India, South Korea, and Taiwan.

The recall is due to a defect where the pump shafts may fail at the location of the thread where a locknut is installed. This failure is associated with an atypical noise caused by an unsecured shaft end contacting the rotating pulley. Prolonged use of a roller pump in this condition could lead to an eventual pump stop, resulting in the inability to create pump flow due to pulley loosening and drive belt damage.

The affected units have the following serial numbers: 880559, 880560, 882808, 882809, 882810, 882811, 882812, 882813, 885541, 885542, and 885543. Healthcare facilities and users should check their inventory for these specific serial numbers and stop using the affected devices immediately.
