Plain-English summary
Datascope Corporation is recalling 22 units of the BEQ-TOP 33700 ECC 3/8" PACK, Custom Tubing Pack with Bioline Coating (Catalog No. 701053845). The affected lots are 3000056811, 3000063949, and 3000067795. 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 was initiated because the Better Bladder device included in some of these custom tubing kits may experience seal separation from the housing. This defect allows air to enter the housing, which can cause the balloon to collapse. If the balloon collapses, it may increase resistance to flow in the venous line and cause a drop in blood flow within the ECMO circuit.
Healthcare facilities and users should stop using the affected tubing packs immediately and contact Datascope Corporation for instructions on how to return the products. This recall is classified as Class II by the FDA, indicating a reasonable probability that the use of the product could cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences.
