Why it was recalled

Terumo CVS discovered that our In house service center has incorrectly installed a felt washer into the main bearing of nine roller pumps that had been returned for repair or preventative maintenance unrelated to the felt washer. The felt washer was added as a validated running change to production to all roller pumps manufactured since February 2009. The felt washer should not have been installed
