Datascope recalls BEQ-TOP 24500 Adult ECC Custom Tubing Kits with catalog number 701050253 due to potential air entry causing blood flow drops in ECMO circuits.
The Better Bladder device provided as part of some custom tubing kits has been recalled by its manufacturer. Seal separation from the housing may allow air to enter the housing and collapse the balloon. This may increase resistance to flow in the venous line and cause a drop in ECMO circuit blood flow.
Datascope is recalling some BEQ-TOP 24500 Adult ECC Custom Tubing Kits because seal separation might let air into the device, reducing blood flow in ECMO circuits. This could cause serious complications for patients using extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
The tubing kit's seal may separate from the housing, allowing air to enter the device. This can increase resistance in the venous line and reduce blood flow through the ECMO circuit, potentially causing serious complications.
Patients using ECMO therapy with this specific tubing kit are at risk. Healthcare providers who have the recalled model should check their inventory.
Check for catalog number 701050253 on the tubing kit. The recalled units were sold with lot numbers 3000055326 or 3000064943.
