✎ GovInfoNow plain-language explainer

What happened, in plain English

Datascope Corp. is recalling Cardiosave Hybrid Intra-Aortic Balloon Pumps with model number 0998-XX-0800-32 because the power cord supplied for Brazil doesn't fit Brazilian outlets. This could prevent the pump from working safely in Brazil.

Why it’s dangerous

The power cord's plug type (Type J) is incompatible with Brazil's Type N outlets. This means the pump may not connect properly or could cause electrical issues if plugged in.

How to tell if you have this one
