| Reason For Recall | Terumo Cardiovascular Systems (Terumo CVS) has received multiple reports since 2007 of various malfunctions of the arterial and cardioplegia monitors for the Sarns Modular Perfusion System 8000. The malfunctions can be broadly categorized as follows monitor power malfunctions, inability to measure pressure and inaccurate and/or false pressure alarms. If the malfunction of the arterial or cardioplegia monitor occurs prior to initiating cardiopulmonary bypass, it could inconvenience the user or delay the case; the risk to the patient is dependent on the patient's status. If the failure occurs during cardiopulmonary bypass, the risk to the patient ranges from negligible to severe and is dependent on the patient's condition, the user's experience and competency and the user's knowledge of the instructions in the Operator's Manual. While the Operator's Manual for the Sarns system 8000 provides instruction on how to respond to the malfunctions, Terumo CVS is informing users of the risks associated with these malfunctions, reminding users to review the instructions in the Operator's Manual and providing an Addendum to clarify the instruction for responding to an inaccurate pressure reading or false alarm. There are no known reports of patient injury as a result of these issues. |
