OriGen ECMO Reinforced Dual Lumen Cannula Recalled for Potential Tube Disconnect
OriGen Biomedical is recalling 145 units of ECMO Reinforced Dual Lumen Cannulas due to a risk of the clear tube disconnecting from the hub.
What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a high-risk medical device (ECMO cannula) where a mechanical failure could lead to serious harm, but the source text does not report any specific injuries or illnesses, fitting the 'risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported' criterion.
Plain-English summary
OriGen Biomedical, Inc. is recalling 145 units of the ECMO Reinforced Dual Lumen Cannula, Sterile EO, Rx Only, REF: VV13F. The affected lots are N18573 and N18687-1. The recall covers units distributed across 34 US states and the District of Columbia, as well as 19 foreign countries.
The recall is due to a potential defect where clamping the clear tube very close to the blue hub may cause a localized adhesive failure in the bond between the clear tube and the molded hub. Forcefully rotating the clamp while it is in place may potentially cause an immediate disconnect of the clear tube or lead to a later fatigue failure of the adhesive bond, resulting in the clear tube disconnecting from the hub.
Healthcare providers and facilities should stop using the affected devices and contact OriGen Biomedical for further instructions.
