Terumo recalls specific roller pumps that may fail due to unusual noise, risking pump stoppage during blood circulation procedures. Affected units have serial numbers starting with 882298.
These roller pumps were assembled with pump shafts that may fail at the location of the thread where a locknut is installed. The failure is associated with a noise that is atypical of roller pump operation. The noise is caused when an unsecured shaft end contacts the rotating pulley of the roller pump. Prolonged use of a roller pump in this condition could lead to an eventual pump stop, resulting in the inability to create pump flow due to pulley loosening and drive belt damage.
Terumo is recalling certain roller pumps used in blood circulation procedures because faulty assembly may cause them to stop working. This could lead to interrupted blood flow during critical medical procedures if the pump fails.
The pumps have a potential failure point where the shaft connects to the locknut. If the shaft end moves freely, it creates unusual noise and can eventually cause the pump to stop working by damaging internal parts. This could interrupt blood flow during critical medical procedures.
Medical professionals using the Terumo Advanced Perfusion Assembly Pump Guts for blood circulation procedures are most at risk. Patients undergoing these procedures could be affected if the pump fails.
