Maquet Bubble Sensor Recall: Cable Durability Issue May Cause Errors
Maquet recalls Bubble Sensors with model 701055720 due to cable durability issues that can cause sensor errors. Affected units may display 'Ven. bubble sensor defective' or 'Ven. bubble sensor disconnected' messages.
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.
