Plain-English summary

Terumo Cardiovascular Systems Corporation is recalling 72 units of the Terumo Advanced Perfusion System 1 Flow Module. These devices are indicated for use in extracorporeal circulation of blood for arterial perfusion, regional perfusion, and cardiopulmonary bypass procedures when used by a qualified perfusionist.

The recall was initiated after Terumo received one report of a flow module not displaying blood flow information on the Central Control Monitor or the Centrifugal Control Unit. Additionally, the tricolor LED on the affected module was not illuminated. The company's investigation determined that the malfunction was caused by an improper component on a circuit board.
