Reason for recall
Firm has developed a software correction (Revision D.00) outside the US to mitigate product problems that pose a risk of hemodynamic instability and failure of transmission of clinical data in Cardiosave Hybrid and Cardiosave Rescue Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump devices.
Potency and specification recalls happen when a batch tests outside its approved limits for strength, purity or dissolution, which can mean the dose delivered is higher or lower than labelled.
