Reason for recall
The SCP control Panel rotary knob used to control rotary speed of the pump in the SCP system used as a centrifugal pump during cardiopulmonary bypass may be difficult or impossible to rotate as a result of premature wear of the angle encoder. The loss of function of the angle encoder during bypass may lead to ischemia, stroke, organ damage, arterial tissue injury or reperfusion syndrome.
Lead and other heavy metals accumulate in the body. Children are most at risk; even low levels can affect development.
