- Reason
- Terumo Cardiovascular Systems Corporation has received complaints indicating that the Sarns Centrifugal Pump (disposable pump heads) have exhibited leaks. The leaks were detected during priming of the bypass circuit and during CPB procedures. In each of the reported incidents, there were no reports of patient injury as a result of the centrifugal pump leaks. Terumo Cardiovascular System's investigation into the incident has identified the cause of the leaks to be cracks in both the Top Housing and Magnet Back Housing of the pump. When the cracks cause the housing to become compromised, it is possible for fluid to leak from the pump head.
