Plain-English summary
Medtronic Perfusion Systems is recalling specific lots of the CB10W65R1 Custom Pack CH Access perfusion system tubing pack because certain units may have been manufactured with insufficient or incomplete welds. The defective welds could compromise the structural integrity of the tubing system used in cardiac surgical procedures.
The affected lot is 221332879 with a use-by date of October 5, 2022. The product was distributed nationwide in Alabama, Arizona, California, Indiana, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Ohio, Tennessee, and Texas.
A perfusion system is used during cardiac surgery to provide life support by circulating and oxygenating blood outside the body during heart-lung bypass. If the tubing pack welds are defective, the system could fail or leak during the procedure. Healthcare facilities that received this lot should quarantine affected units immediately, verify inventory against the recalled lot number, and contact Medtronic for replacement units or further instructions.
