Datascope Corp/MAQUET issued a press release on June 16, 2017. Datascope Corp/MAQUET sent an Urgent Product Recall Letter on June 19, 2017, to their customers via FedEx next day delivery service. Pursuant to the WARNINGS section of our CS100i, CS100 or CS300 IABP Operating/User Instructions, clinicians are instructed not to leave the patient unattended during IABP therapy. Until the service is performed, we recommend the IABP be powered on prior to initiation of therapy to allow the IABP to successfully complete its self-test. This action will take less than 60 seconds to perform. In the event the IABP fails to successfully complete the self-test and exhibits electrical test failure code 58, please remove the IABP from service and contact your local Maquet/Getinge Sales & Service Office. Customers will be instructed to complete and return the attached Medical Device Field Correction Response Form via fax to 1-973-807-9217 or send via email to [email protected]@getinge.com. If you are a distributor who has shipped any affected products to customers, please forward this document to their attention for appropriate action.
