The recalled models include various 30 cc, 40 cc and 50 cc intra-aortic balloons manufactured from January 2008 through January 2009. Such pumps are a component of the Intra-Aortic Pump System which helps increase blood flow to the hearts of critically ill people. The recalled pumps have a faulty connector in their tubing assembly that may result in an incorrect volume setting. Users should return the the recalled products. Class 1 is the most serious type of FDA recall, which is used when there is a reasonable probability that a product will cause serious injury or death. Arrow International is based in Massachusetts. </p><a href="http://philadelphia.injuryboard.com/medical-devices-and-implants/recall-of-intraaortic-balloons.aspx?googleid=261598">Originally posted</a> at <a href="http://www.InjuryBoard.com">InjuryBoard</a> by <a href="http://www.injuryboard.com/Jamie-Sheller/">Jamie Sheller</a> http://philadelphia.injuryboard.com/medical-devices-and-implants/recall-of-intraaortic-balloons.aspx?googleid=261598 Philadelphia Personal Injury Lawyer - product recall Medical Devices & Implants fda product recall Jamie Sheller Thu, 23 Apr 2009 16:21:48 GMT
