Bubble Sensor for 3/8" x 3/32" tubing;

Internal investigations have identified an issue with the durability of the connecting cable near the connection to the Venous Bubble Sensor. Excessive bending of the connecting cable can lead to full damage of the Venous Bubble Sensor or loose cable contact, which may trigger the errors Ven. bubble sensor defective or Ven. bubble sensor disconnected on the connected medical device. These errors can occur temporarily when the connecting cable is moved or permanently if the connection is fully compromised.

CARDIOHELP-i System was not properly tested to measure leakage current

CARDIOHELP-i System. Blood oxygenation and carbon dioxide removal system.

The firm identified that the measured patient leakage current in some devices significantly exceeded expected levels.

Bubble Sensor (REF: 70105.5720)

The Bubble Sensor optional accessory to the CARDIOHELP-i extracorporeal life support system includes an incorrect UDI Device Identifier (DI) provided with the label attached to the device.

Venous probe connection cable (REF 701069333 and 701048804) used with the Cardiohelp-i System, part numbers 701072780 and 701041802

Firm received complaints of breaks in the insulation, shielding, or wires of the venous probe connection cable. Fracture of the venous probe cable may influence the management of extracorporeal support. Patient may be exposed to inappropriate blood flow, blood temperature, or hematocrit/hemoglobin levels as a result of the CARDIOHELP-i not receiving information from the venous probe.
