Maquet recalls VASOVIEW HemoPro Endoscopic Vessel Harvesting Systems with potential fluid ingress into the handle causing improper cautery function. Affected models include VH-3500 and VH-3000-W.
Potential for there to be a fluid ingress into the handle of the harvesting tool, which may lead to the device not providing cautery or providing cautery when not intended.
Maquet is recalling VASOVIEW HemoPro Endoscopic Vessel Harvesting Systems due to a risk of fluid entering the handle, which could cause the device to provide cautery when not intended or fail to provide cautery. This could lead to improper vessel harvesting during surgery.
Fluid can enter the handle area of the harvesting tool, causing the heating elements to malfunction. This may result in the device either failing to cauterize vessels or applying cautery unexpectedly during surgery, potentially leading to bleeding or tissue damage.
Surgical teams using the VASOVIEW HemoPro systems for vessel harvesting procedures are most at risk. Patients undergoing these procedures with affected devices may experience complications.
