FDA Recommendations
Cardiosave Hybrid and Rescue IABPs are used with patients undergoing cardiac and non-cardiac surgery, and to treat adult patients with acute coronary syndrome or complications of heart failure.
Getinge/Datascope/Maquet plans to plans to correct all 4,338 Cardiosave IABP devices in the field. These modifications which will include various internal and external component upgrades will be installed by a company service representative.
On November 15, 2021, Getinge/Datascope/Maquet notified its customers of the problem in an “Urgent Medical Device Correction Letter.” The letter instructed customers to:
- Determine if they had any Cardiosave Hybrid or Rescue IABPs.
- Follow the “Instructions For Use.”
- Never place fluids on top of the unit.
- Immediately wipe clean any spills.
- Use the Plastic Weather Display and Rescue Cover any time the Cardiosave Rescue IABP is used outdoors, especially when there is the possibility of wet weather.
