Cardiosave Hybrid Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump charging issue recall

The Cardiosave Hybrid Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump console fails to charge if not fully inserted into the hospital cart. Users unaware of this requirement may attempt to use a non-charged device during critical cardiac care.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The FDA classified this as Class I, requiring a minimum severity score of 4. While no deaths or serious injuries are documented in the source text, this recall affects a critical cardiac care device. A failure to charge could prevent the device from functioning when needed in critical patient care situations.
