Reason for Recall

Medtronic is recalling selected Carmeda-coated cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) products (e.g., oxygenators, reservoirs, pumps, cannulae and tubing packs) that were manufactured with contaminated heparin. Medtronic's heparin supplier recently reported that it had provided some batches to Medtronic that were contaminated with oversulfated chondroitin sulfate (OSCS).

Medtronic issued a Press Release on 05/07/2008. An Urgent Medical Device Recall letter was sent to customers on May 07, 2008. The letter identifies affected devices, explains the situation and requests that the impacted product be returned to Medtronic for disposal.
