Datascope recalls BEQ-T 9410 Lurie Chldns Small 1/4 Custom Tubing Kit (Catalog No. 709000430) 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.
