Reason for Recall
The Battery Charging Station is an optional dual-bay
charger used to charge the Cardiosave IABP Lithium-
Ion batteries when they are not being used to
operate the IABP. Getinge has identified that a
protruding screw in the left battery bay limits full
insertion of certain batteries and prevents proper
charging. The right bay of the Battery Charging
Station is not affected by this issue.
