Device Design

Action the firm took

Terumo Cardiovascualr notified accounts by letter dated 3/1/2011 advising users users that the luer connector to the table line in certain lots of myocardial protection sets may leak. Users should not continue to use affected myocardial protection sets in a manner that exposes the connector to negative pressure without taking correction or replacement activities as described. Firm provided mitigating instructions: Clamp the table line distal to the luer connector when ending an infusion of cardioplegia thus isolating the leak from negative pressure. Contact Terumo CVS Customer Service to report the defect and arrange return of the unit: 800-521-2818.
