Terumo Cardiovascular Systems Recalls

Hazard: Due to an error in assembly of the thermistor within some units, the affected probes will experience inaccuracy in measured shunt sensor temperature. Additionally, following changes in patient temperature without an in vivo recalibration, affected probes may experience inaccuracy in other measured parameters, including pCO2, pO2, pH, Potassium and calculated parameters, including BE, Bicarbonate, Arterial Oxygen Saturation, Delivered Oxygen, Area Under of the Curve of Delivered Oxygen, Oxygen Consumption, and Oxygen Extraction Ratio, which utilize temperature as an input. Inaccurate data may lead to inappropriate user response.

Hazard: During some clinical cases, it has been observed that the SO2 value may periodically appear as dashes on the Touchscreen Display indicating unavailable data. In these cases, a yellow low-limit alarm will also be triggered to the user, due to the dashed-out value.

Hazard: Pressure relief valve included in certain lots of cardiovascular procedure kits was reportedly opening at approximately 200-300mmHg versus 400mmHg, potential myocardial tissue damage potentially requiring surgical or medical/pharmacological intervention

Hazard: Some Capiox NX, RX and FX Oxygenators may contain an arterial thermistor component that is improperly bonded to the oxygenator port. This may result in a leak at the point where the arterial thermistor is improperly bonded to the oxygenator port.

Hazard: Potential for Cardiovascular Procedure Kit packaging damage that occurred during shipping.

Hazard: intermittent failure causes a blender initialization fault upon start-up, or during an EPGS calibration attempt following the 15-minute warm-up period. The control sliders on the Central Control Monitor (CCM) are disabled and the gas system can only be controlled by the local control knobs

Hazard: Terumo CVS has been unable to validate a cleaning protocol to satisfy current regulatory concerns and expectations. As a result, an updated cleaning protocol will not be developed by Terumo CVS and it has been determined that the best course of action is for users to discontinue use of and dispose of HX2, TCM I and TCM II devices.

Hazard: There is a potential for the stainless steel locking plates on the device's sternal retractor locking mechanism to fracture.

Hazard: Capiox FX25 Advance oxygenator may be the incorrect configuration (East vs. West)

Hazard: Internal testing at the supplier, revealed that a crimped wire was placed into an air bubble detector (ABD) sensor connector backwards, preventing the crimped wire from locking into the mating wire connector. This intermittent connection may result in false air bubble alarms.

Hazard: These roller pumps were assembled with pump shafts that may fail at the location of the thread where a locknut is installed. The failure is associated with a noise that is atypical of roller pump operation. The noise is caused when an unsecured shaft end contacts the rotating pulley of the roller pump. Prolonged use of a roller pump in this condition could lead to an eventual pump stop, resulting in the inability to create pump flow due to pulley loosening and drive belt damage.

Hazard: An intermittent failure which causes a blender initialization fault upon start-up or during an EPGS calibration attempt leads to the Central Control Monitor control sliders being disabled, such that the gas system can only be controlled by the local control knobs.

Hazard: The gas flow rate output of the EPGS may be inaccurate due to a defect in the internal flowmeter.

Hazard: Presence of natural rubber latex is not declared in the label

Hazard: The system's IFU contains a list of generators that the have been deemed compatible. Recent reports indicate that one energy platform is not compatible with the system. Therefore, it has been removed from the list of compatible generators within the IFU.

Hazard: The service manual was not updated at the time of the release of software version 1.30.

Hazard: Screws on a Terumo¿ Advanced Perfusion System 1 Power Manager Board (the base unit circuit board) were not torqued to specification. It is possible that a screw which has not been properly torqued can go undetected during manufacturing testing and may loosen over time, resulting in the potential for an electrical short in the system
