Plain-English summary

Datascope Corporation is recalling 18 units of the BEQ-TOP 5210 ECC Set - Respiratory, Custom Tubing Kit, Catalog No. 701055604R01. The affected lots are 3000061303 and 3000056130. These products were distributed to accounts in Alabama, Arkansas, California, the District of Columbia, Florida, Illinois, Louisiana, Missouri, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, and Washington.

The recall is due to a defect in the Better Bladder device included in the kits. Seal separation from the housing may allow air to enter the housing, which can cause the balloon to collapse. This collapse may increase resistance to flow in the venous line and cause a drop in ECMO circuit blood flow.

Healthcare facilities and consumers should stop using the affected products and contact Datascope Corporation for instructions on how to return or replace the units.
