• FEI Number: 1220648
• Recalling Firm/ Manufacturer: Abiomed, Inc.; 22 Cherry Hill Dr; Danvers MA 01923-2575
• For Additional Information Contact: Morgaine Johnson; 612-437-5734
• Manufacturer Reason for Recall: The potential for purge cassette recognition issues due to the failure of the purge flag component of the purge pressure sensor assembly.
• FDA Determined Cause: Under Investigation by firm
• Action: On August 12, 2026 URGENT MEDICAL DEVICE RECALL (REMOVAL) letters were sent to customers. Actions to be Taken: 1. Hospital inventory can continue to be used while awaiting service from Abiomed to ensure continuity of care. 2. Abiomed s field service team will contact you to schedule the specified replacement. 3. In the event of these purge flag component failures and associated alarms, as per IFU, first reinsert purge disc to address the alarm. If that action does not clear the alarm, switch to a backup Automated Impella Controller. 4. Ensure cleaning of the AIC housing with mild detergent as specified in the IFU. 5. Ensure future routine preventive maintenance is performed annually on your AIC(s) following the guidance in the IFU 6. Forward this notice to anyone in your facility that needs to be informed. 7. If any of the subject products have been forwarded to another facility, contact that facility and provide them with this notice. 8. Post a copy of this notice in a visible area for awareness.
