Terumo recalls specific models of Advanced Perfusion System Platform for cardiopulmonary bypass procedures due to potential electrical short from improperly torqued screws.
Screws on a Terumo¿ Advanced Perfusion System 1 Power Manager Board (the base unit circuit board) were not torqued to specification. It is possible that a screw which has not been properly torqued can go undetected during manufacturing testing and may loosen over time, resulting in the potential for an electrical short in the system.
Terumo is recalling certain Advanced Perfusion System Platform units used in heart surgery procedures because screws on the power manager board may not be tightened correctly. This could cause an electrical short, which might lead to equipment malfunction during surgery.
Screws on the power manager board may not be tightened to the correct specification during manufacturing. Over time, these screws could loosen, potentially causing an electrical short in the system during use.
