Terumo Advanced Perfusion System Power Manager Board Recall

Terumo is recalling 10 Advanced Perfusion System units due to improperly torqued screws on the Power Manager Board, which may cause electrical shorts.

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 high-risk medical device (cardiopulmonary bypass) where a defect (electrical short) 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 10 units of the 220/240V AC Advanced Perfusion System Platform (APS) for use in cardiopulmonary bypass procedures. The recall involves specific serial numbers and spare parts for the Power Manager Board. The units were distributed nationwide and in several foreign countries, including Mexico, Belgium, Canada, India, Indonesia, Singapore, South Korea, and Vietnam.

The recall was initiated because screws on the Power Manager Board were not torqued to specification. It is possible that a screw not properly torqued could go undetected during manufacturing testing and loosen over time. This condition may result in the potential for an electrical short in the system.

The source text does not specify specific actions for consumers or healthcare providers beyond the recall notice. No illnesses or injuries are reported in the source text.
