Plain-English summary
Terumo Cardiovascular Systems Corporation is recalling the Sarns Antegrade Cardioplegia Cannula. The recall affects 53,139 units distributed worldwide, including the United States and various international markets. The specific catalog number is 66015, and the affected lot numbers are NC21, NF16, NL26, PA30, PC13, and PD05.
The recall was initiated because Terumo CVS identified a foreign substance on the inner surface of some cannula tips during production. A preliminary investigation determined that this substance can be dislodged from the cannula surface. The substance was likely deposited during the molding process, though its exact composition is not specified in the source text.
These devices are indicated for placement in the aortic root to deliver cardioplegia solution or blood to the heart, vent the left heart, and aspirate air from the aorta during cardiopulmonary bypass procedures. Healthcare providers and facilities should stop using the affected units and contact Terumo CVS for instructions on return or replacement.
