Terumo Advanced Perfusion System 1 Recalled for Battery Depletion Issues

Terumo is recalling approximately 993 Advanced Perfusion System 1 units because the battery may deplete faster than expected during shutdown, potentially causing unexpected system failure.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a medical device used in critical procedures where an unexpected shutdown poses a risk of harm, but no injuries or illnesses have been reported, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.

Plain-English summary

Terumo Cardiovascular Systems Corporation is recalling approximately 993 units of the Terumo Advanced Perfusion System 1 Base (100/120V). The device is indicated for use in extracorporeal circulation of blood for arterial perfusion, regional perfusion, and cardiopulmonary bypass procedures. The recall is due to a defect where the battery charge depletes faster than expected during periods of system shutdown.

The System 1 may falsely indicate a longer battery life than actually remains if the device is not subjected to regular use, such as when it is kept as a backup system. This discrepancy may result in an unexpected system shutdown. Additionally, prolonged battery depletion may cause permanent damage to the battery.

The affected units were distributed worldwide, including in the United States and various international locations. The specific catalog number is 801763, and the affected serial numbers are 0011-0335, 0337-0610, 1001-1034, 1037-1049, 1100, 1103-1106, 1109-1445, and 1447-1450. Users should check their serial numbers and contact the manufacturer for further instructions.
