FDA root cause: Pending
Action: The firm issued an URGENT MEDICAL DEVICE NOTIFICATION to its consignees on 10/17/2022 by FedEx 2-day mail. To reduce the risk of short battery run time: .Plug IABP into an AC outlet during patient use, and when not in use. .Ensure the battery is fully charged prior to transporting patients, and a fully charged backup IABP device is available. .Replace the batteries when Battery Run Time is less than 90 minutes, there is visual damage to the battery, or Battery has been in service for 3 years. . Perform Battery Load Test at least every 12 months by qualified service personnel. If there is an issue with the battery load, immediately quarantine the device and contact Teleflex Customer Service to report the issue and receive service support for the affected IABP device. If a battery load test has not been performed in the past 12 months, perform battery load test prior to transporting patients with affected IABP devices. .If the IABP device battery fails while in use, immediately connect to an AC power source to continue therapy. .If a source of AC power is not available, transfer the patient to a fully charged back-up IABP device. .If pumping cannot be restored within 15 to 30 minutes, manually inflate and deflate the IAB several times per hour to reduce the risk of thrombus formation and consider removing the balloon.

About this record

Sourced from the FDA device recall database and the FDA enforcement reports, both ingested from openFDA. The recall record supplies the product, the reason and the product code; the enforcement report supplies the classification. The two datasets are exported by FDA on different days, and the date above is the older of the two, so nothing on this page is newer than it says.

MDM adds the root cause tag, derived from FDA’s own root cause text, and the cross-links to the product code, the clearances named on the record and MDM coverage. Where a recall has not been joined to an enforcement report, no classification is shown.
