What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The recall is classified as FDA Class II, and the source text describes a functional difficulty (adjustment of a knob) without reporting any injuries, illnesses, or deaths, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity recall.

Plain-English summary

Terumo Cardiovascular Systems Corporation is recalling 992 units of the Terumo Advanced Perfusion System 1 Base, 220/240 V. This medical device is indicated for use in extracorporeal circulation of blood for arterial perfusion, regional perfusion, and cardiopulmonary bypass procedures. The affected units are identified by catalog number 801764 and specific serial number ranges.

The recall was initiated after the manufacturer received two complaints regarding the Gas System.

The electronic gas blender is responsible for controlling and monitoring gas flow rates and oxygen content in the perfusion circuit.

The affected units were distributed worldwide, including the United States and numerous international markets such as Canada, Germany, Japan, and the United Kingdom. Users of this equipment should contact Terumo Cardiovascular Systems Corporation for further instructions on how to address the issue with the gas flow control knob.
