Potential small holes at the seam lines of Hemashield branches causing intra-operative bleeding at the seam lines of the branches of Hemashield grafts
Maquet is recalling Hemashield Platinum Vascular Grafts that may have small holes at seam lines, which could cause bleeding during surgery. This is a serious risk for patients undergoing vascular repair procedures.
Small holes at the seam lines of the graft branches can lead to bleeding during surgical procedures. This risk occurs because the grafts are used in critical vascular repairs where bleeding could be life-threatening.
Healthcare professionals using these grafts for arterial repairs are most at risk. Patients receiving these grafts during surgery could face bleeding complications.
Check for the product code M00202175728AP0 on the graft packaging. Affected units have serial number 1185764630.
Immediately stop using the recalled Hemashield Platinum Vascular Grafts if you have them.
