Our severity reasoning: FDA Class II medical device recall of a critical dialysis component with reported mechanical failure (loose/dislodged guide sheaves) that poses a risk of harm.

Plain-English summary
Fresenius Medical Care Holdings, Inc. is recalling the Blood Pump Rotor spare part (Model Number F40015481 Rev A), which is used in K@HOME dialysis machines. A total of 17 units have been distributed nationwide in the United States and in Canada.
The company received multiple complaints from dialysis clinics reporting that the guide sheaves (components of the blood pump rotor) became loose or dislodged after a period of use. A loose or dislodged sheave could interfere with proper blood pump operation during dialysis treatment.
Dialysis clinics and patients using affected K@HOME machines should immediately cease use of the affected rotor units and contact their Fresenius equipment representative. Patients should request a replacement rotor to ensure safe continuation of dialysis therapy. The FDA has classified this recall as Class II.
