According to a new release issued by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Datascope, a subsidiary of Getinge, is recalling Cardiosave Hybrid IABPs and Rescue IABPs because a communication loss between the executive processor printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) and the video generator PCBA may cause an unexpected shutdown
The coiled cable connecting the display and base on some units may fail, causing an unexpected shutdown, without warnings or alarms to alert the user, the FDA says.
