Cardiosave Hybrid intra-aortic balloon pump safety disk defect may reduce therapy efficacy

Datascope's Cardiosave Hybrid intra-aortic balloon pump may have a faulty Safety Disk that reduces balloon inflation and cardiac augmentation. No injuries reported.

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: FDA Class II medical device with potential for reduced efficacy in critical cardiac care. No reported illnesses or injuries, but the risk-of-harm in a high-consequence therapeutic setting justifies a rating at the maximum allowable for theoretical hazards without reported injury.
