Cardiosave Hybrid Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump Power Cord Incompatible with Brazilian Outlet

Datascope Corp. is recalling 54 units of the Cardiosave Hybrid Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump distributed to Brazil. The Type J power cord plug is incompatible with Brazilian Type N electrical receptacles.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: This is a Class II recall with no reported illnesses or injuries. The power cord incompatibility prevents normal device operation but does not describe an inherent safety hazard. This qualifies as a moderate, precautionary recall to address the functional incompatibility.
