Arrow recalls AutoCAT2 IABP pumps with potential short battery run times. Affected units may need replacement to prevent cardiac risks.
There is a potential issue with short battery run-times on the affected intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) devices.
Arrow is recalling certain AutoCAT2 intra-aortic balloon pumps due to potential short battery run times. This could lead to the pump failing during use, risking cardiac complications for patients.
Short battery run times could cause the pump to stop working unexpectedly during critical cardiac support. This might lead to complications if the pump fails while the patient is in need of it.
Patients using the recalled cardiac pumps are most at risk. The recall affects specific refurbished models sold with certain serial numbers.
Check for the model name 'AutoCAT2 IAPB', refurbished version, and serial numbers starting with (01) 0 0801902 09375 followed by 2 or 3 digits.
Verify if the pump has short battery run times by testing its operation.
