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: This recall is classified as High because it involves a critical cardiac-support device where performance degradation could affect patient outcomes. Although no illnesses have been reported and the reduction is described as 'slight,' the device's role in maintaining hemodynamic support during therapy presents a risk-of-harm that warrants this classification.

The Cardiosave Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump (IABP) Pneumatic Interface Module (PIM), Model Number 0997-00-1178, manufactured by Datascope Corp., is being recalled. The recall affects 10 specific units identified by serial number.
