Terumo Advanced Perfusion System 1 Recall for Incomplete Operator Manual

Terumo is recalling 1,657 Advanced Perfusion System 1 units because the operator manual does not fully describe pump reactions during specific alarm conditions.

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, but the hazard is a documentation/labeling error with no reported injuries or illnesses, fitting the criteria for a moderate severity score involving minor labeling errors or voluntary precautionary measures.

Plain-English summary

Terumo Cardiovascular Systems Corporation is recalling 1,657 units of the Terumo Advanced Perfusion System 1 (Catalog number: 801764). The recall is due to a labeling deficiency in the operator manual. The manual does not fully describe the sequence of expected events when a user adjusts the centrifugal pump speed via the Central Control Monitor at the same time an alarm condition occurs with a configuration for a pump coast response.

The affected devices are indicated for use in extracorporeal circulation of blood for arterial perfusion, regional perfusion, and cardiopulmonary bypass procedures. The units were distributed worldwide, including the United States, Australia, Canada, and various countries in Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.

No specific instructions for end-users are provided in the source text, as the issue is a documentation deficiency in the professional operator manual. The recall is classified as Class II by the FDA.
