Datascope recalls NICU ECC Pack custom tubing kits due to seal defect

Datascope is recalling specific NICU ECC Pack custom tubing kits because a seal defect may allow air to enter the device, potentially reducing blood flow in ECMO circuits.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II and involves a structural defect in a critical life-support device (ECMO) that can cause a drop in blood flow, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

Datascope Corporation is recalling three units of the NICU ECC Pack BEQ-TOP 39202, Custom Tubing Kit, Catalog No. 701067313R01. The affected units are identified by Lot 3000061508. 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 being conducted because the Better Bladder device included in these custom tubing kits may experience seal separation from the housing. This defect can allow air to enter the housing and cause the balloon to collapse. Such a failure may increase resistance to flow in the venous line and cause a drop in blood flow within the ECMO circuit.

Healthcare facilities and accounts that received these specific units should stop using the affected custom tubing kits and contact Datascope Corporation for further instructions on the recall.
